 On the next
morning, we go for a 4-5 hours ride to the town of Kardjali. On the way, we will
visit Bachkovo monastery and take a ride along
Kardjali lake.
Upon arriving, we'll have lunch on a floating platform-restaurant on
the lakeshore. After lunch we will be heading to
Perperikon -
the site literally described by the ancient authors as the Temple of
Dionysus in Rhodope mountains. Located some 10 miles from
the town of Kurdjali, this fertile sheltered place had attracted settlers in
very ancient times, and today it reveals invaluable archaeological remains.
After touring Perperikon, we will be going back to Kardjali and spend the night
there.
 On the next morning after breakfast, we will be riding panoramic
back roads
in the heart of Rhodopes mountains heading to the
Wonder Bridges natural phenomena - majestic stone bridges cut by the passing river
centuries ago, a definite must-see. After sightseeing the bridges, we will
continue our ride to

an authentic Rhodope house
in the village of Trigrad.
 Next day you can choose to practice variety of outdoor
activities - horseback riding, climbing, visiting the Devil's Throat
cave or for thriller lovers, penetrating Haramiiska cave - situated in the
best part of the Trigrad gorge, it offers a 20m climbing adventure, followed
by a 43m descend into the big hall of
the cave, which is 160m long, and 60m high. Those
glued to the saddle can go for a panoramic ride through Trigrad and Yagodina gorges
and a visit of Yagodina cave - the longest cave on the Balkan
peninsula (10km), located in the canyon valley of the river Buinovska with a
splendid collection of carst formations. Another alternative
is to take a back road ride to the Chairy site. On your way back to Trigrad,
those with the spirit of adventure can enjoy the off-road from the village of Yagodina to Trigrad. Overnight stay in Trigrad.
