Nature

Bulgaria's mountains are generous when it comes to a diversity in flora & fauna.

The forests in our region pride themselves with an abundance in birch trees, Scot's pines, oak, aspen, beech, willows, poplars and alder. 

Fern and other grasses are present and tall flowers color the meadows in gentle summer tones.  Nature does not only beautify the lands, she also gives us gifts such as thyme, St. John's Wort, yarrow, mint, rosehip, sage, еlder, wild berries, hazelnuts, as well as edible mushrooms and many more valuable presents.

 What an excitement it is to spot wild animals in their natural habitat!  By moving through wildlife territory on horseback, we receive excellent opportunities to get close, observe and take pictures! Wild boar families, foxes, jackals and deer can easily be heard and spotted, especially at dawn and dusk. You may also see hare, badgers. While human  presence has moved larger predators such as grey wolves, lynx and brown bears into more secluded regions of other mountain ranges, one may discover traces of their  occasional passing through.

Wildlife

From the skies you will hear the yearning screech of buzzard and hawk, while white and black storks impress with their wide wingspan flying low above our heads just to land in the fields in search of frogs, beetles, lizards and snakes. 

​

Rivers and water ways carry in their fresh waters fish, crab and lovely water plants. In our vicinity you will find several man made lakes - a heaven for the fishing enthusiasts! Their waters bear fish such as pike, carp, bass, catfish, trout, stubble, barbell... to name a few.

Seasons

We enjoy all four seasons:

even though summers are mostly hot and dry, our elevation favors a fresh mountain breeze. 

If you enjoy a fairy-like winter wonderland, you've come to the right place!

...

Dress well and riding out in the snow is the biggest fun!

In seasons like spring and fall you may find yourself above the clouds, together with all the snow-capped mountain peaks looking at a cloudless sky
