Horseback riding in Bulgaria is a unique experience and
offers a great satisfaction, no matter if you are a beginner or an experienced rider.
Five Bulgarian mountains – Rila mountains, Rhodope
mountains, Pirin mountains, Strandja mountains and the Balkan Range
offer diverse relief and great itineraries for horse riding.
You will ride in the heart of the gorgeous Bulgarian nature –
an abundant wildlife, awesome river gorges
and waterfalls, vast forests, endless lush pastures.
Horseback riding in Pirin mountains
 Pirin mountains, the wildest, most picturesque range
in Bulgaria, are situated in the southwest part
of the country in a rather extended shape to the northwest and southeast
between the rivers Struma and Mesta. Pirin has acquired an Alpine relief - rocky marble or granite
peaks and cliffs, deep cirques, well shaped glacier valleys and numerous
lakes. However, because of the well-expressed Mediterranean influence
through the valleys of the Struma and Mesta rivers, it is the mountain
with the greatest number of sunny days throughout the year. Pure water
tarns and rare wildflowers abound in the highland valleys, and the
slopes are a tourist's delight with white pine and fir clumps, and a
large number of Bulgarian and Balkan endemites and relicts.

Horseback riding in Rhodope
mountains
 Rhodope
mountains, are one of the oldest mountains in Bulgaria - the
land where panpipes, Orpheus and the Orphic Cult originated, a region
rich in gems and ores, mild oval forms and rounded wooded peaks,
picturesque villages and hospitable people. Very interesting are the
karst areas with their deep river gorges, large caves and specific
sculptured forms. The best conifer woods in Bulgaria can be found here,
as well as 15 natural reserves, some of which protected under UNESCO.

Horseback riding in Strandja
 Strandja
mountains are situated in the southeast part of the country. Strandja is covered with beautiful old oak and beech trees. The region is
not very populated except the east part which touches the sea. Some
unique Bulgarian traditions and folklore are preserved in the
villages in Strandja mountains. The well known old Bulgarian ritual of
“Nestinari” originates in this region - barefooted dancers performing
on burning embers. Places like Bulgare village have a unique
atmosphere and still preserve the old Bulgarian folklore traditions. Strandja
is guarding unique species of Bulgarian flora and fauna definitely worth
to be seen and explored. Its proximity to the seaside makes it an ideal
getaway for horseback riding - deep woods are refreshing
experience after the hot days on the beach.
