Is it possible for us to guide the water element? Or, we can only let ourselves be guided by it? We are challenging you to find out yourself in an unforgettable competition with water and your own self! A white-water whirlwind awaits you as we are getting you inspired with some canyoning, kayaking and rafting adventures + a few ideas what else you can combine them with for a truly recharging and refreshing spring getaway!
Canyoning
We are starting off with the most extreme one – a combination of a couple of activities! Following the natural route of water, you will be climbing and descending cliffs as well as passing through and diving into rivers! The canyoning at the Vlahi waterfall, for wxample, will get you involved in a 35-meter rappel experience, while the water is falling over you, while the one at Sheitan dere will test your daring, taking you into the wild and challenging you to jump off the cliff directly into the water!
What to combine the experience with? Less than an hour drive away from the Vlahi waterfall you will find yourself in the peaceful outskirts of Pirin and the hotel of Zlaten Rozhen, where we are slowing down without failing to surprise you! Here you will be able to enjoy a wine tasting and a visit to the one and only in Bulgaria retro car museum! On the other hand, you will only need a 35-minute drive to get to the Wild farm – the home of Betty and Niki from the reality show “The farm”. They will welcome you and walk you around their property with a lot of freely and fresh plants!
Rafting
Experience the adrenaline and emotion of the white waters with a rafting experience! You will be overcoming obstacles and riding waves, while trying to get to grips with the stream of the river! We are taking you down the longest track in Bulgaria – 12 km down the Struma river or the Iskar gorge! With the experience at the eco village Debeli dab you will be able to take advantage of both rafting and kayaking as well as an overnight stay and delicious home-made dishes!
From rafting in the waters of the Iskar gorge you can fly directly over them with the gyrocopter or aircraft flight, which you will even have the opportunity to pilot! And what other experiences await you nearby the rafting down Struma? The amazing villa Sintika right outside Sandanski – with a Mediterranean spirit and luxurious atmosphere, a romantic and relaxing getaway for two at the Orbita SPA hotel as well as villa Melnik – a family winery, whose doors are wide open for everyone, who loves and values fine wine!
Kayaking
Kayaking can be both an extreme as well as a peaceful and idyllic experience, with which you can truly enjoy the nature that surrounds you. This is also a good idea for some family time together and the good thing is that with this experience you have a wide range of locations to chose from: the southern part of Black Sea and Tsarevo, the Rhodope mountain, Pirin and Struma, the Topolnitsa and Dushantsi dams in Sredna gora, dams near Sofia, and even the Danube river!
What can you complement them with? From Tsarevo you can head to the fishermen villages of the south with the secret trip, or the Old houses situated amidst beautiful nature. Near the Dushantsi dam you will find the romantic castle Chateau Copsa, near the Zhrebchevo dam – a beautiful mansion in the middle of endless vineyards - Chateau Windy Hills, in the Rhodope mountain – a jeep safari and near Sofia: the Pchelina dam, which you can combine with a horseriding and picnic near Kovachevtsi, the Ognyanovo dam – with a hot-air balloon flight and the Iskar dam – with an overnight stay and relax in the thermal waters of Belchin garden!
