  • BULGARIA 2020 RODOPI MOUNTAINS CYCLE TOUR Semi-Guided - 8 Days/7 Nights
    BULGARIA 2020 RODOPI MOUNTAINS CYCLE TOUR Semi-Guided - 8 Days/7 Nights The Rodopi Mountains are located in the oldest part of the Balkans with some of the loveliest coniferous forests in the country. The landscape is gentle and rolling, with gorges intermingling with river basins and valleys. Here one can also find 70% of the world minerals, as well as some 600 caves. Flora and fauna contain species that have become extinct in other European countries. Locals live a traditional way of life: wooden carts pulled by horses, donkeys or cows; nomadic gypsies picking mushrooms and berries in the woods; local Muslim inhabitants growing tobacco and potatoes; and herds of sheep and goats descending the mountain at day’s end. You will cycle through villages with typical Rodopean architecture where speech, songs and customs of the local people create the special identity of the region. You have the chance to visit Bachkovo Monastery, the second largest in Bulgaria; see the Miraculous bridges, two unique natural rock bridges about 40 m. high; Velingrad – the largest Bulgarian spa resort famous for its healing hot mineral water. ITINERARY Day 1. Arrive at Sofia or Plovdiv Airport and transfer to your hotel in Sofia. Day 2.

Tourism vs. National Park in Bansko/ Pirin, Bulgaria 295-302 © Institut für Interdisziplinäre Gebirgsforschung (Institute of Mountaun Research) What can mountain regions in Southeast Europe learn from the Alps? Tourism vs. National Park in Bansko/ Pirin, Bulgaria Karsten Grünewald & Jörg Scheithauer Abstract The Alps, as an economically prosperous macroregion, act as a role model for other mountain regions. Therefore the question arises whether they can be compared with other mountain regions. Is there an ecologically compatible way of developing and exploiting mountains? Within a short period of time the small town of Bansko in the Pinn Mountains has emerged as Southeastern Europe’s number one ski resort, using know-how from the Alps. The resort continues to grow. This goes together with inter­ ferences on nature affecting a fragile high mountain region with national park status. Keywords: know-how transfer, management plan, nature protection, sustainable development, tourism boom 1 Introduction The Alps are the prime example for research, exploitation and development of mountain regions. A large part of basic knowledge about geology and functionality of mountains has been compiled in this region. The living standard and die tourism infrastructure in die Alpine region reached a level, which is rated as a model for odi- er mountain regions.
