The first known civilization in the region was that of the Thracians, whose culture reached a peak in the sixth century B.C. Because of disunity, in the ensuing centuries Thracian territory was occupied successively by the Greeks, Persians, Macedonians, and Romans. A Thracian kingdom still existed under the Roman Empire until the first century A.D., when Thrace was incorporated into the empire, and Serditsa was established as a trading center on the site of the modern Bulgarian capital, Sofia.

  • The Pirin Mountains, Bulgaria) in the Last Ten Years
    STUDIA GEOMORPHOLOGICA CARPATHO-BALCANICA VOL. XLV, 2011: 47–68 PL ISSN 0081-6434 EMIL GACHEV (BLAGOEVGRAD) INTER-ANNUAL SIZE VARIATIONS OF SNEZHNIKA GLACIERET (THE PIRIN MOUNTAINS, BULGARIA) IN THE LAST TEN YEARS Abstract: Glacierets, which are in fact embryonic forms of recent glaciation, can serve as important indicators of contemporary climate dynamics in areas where classical glaciers do not exist, such as the high mountains in Southeastern Europe. Two glacierets are located in Bulgaria’s Pirin Mountains: Snezhnika and Banski Suhodol. Snezhnika has been relatively well studied for the last 50 years, and in particular since 1994, when annual size measurements on a regular basis started. The present study focuses on the recent variations in the size of Snezhnika i.e. in the last ten years. Data about the area of the glacieret at the end of the ablation season (in autumn), which was obtained for each year by field measurements and analytical calculations, show that temperature can be considered as a major factor that drives glacieret fluctuations. At the current stage precipitation factor can not be evaluated properly due to the deficit of accurate climate information. Key words: the Pirin Mountains, glacierets, size variation, climate change, climatic factors INTRODUCTION Although small in size and volume, in many mountain areas glacierets are natu- ral features of sufficient value for studies of the dynamics of environmental proc- esses, climatic variations and change. Glacierets are small bodies of perennial ice, which are smaller than glaciers but bigger and more persistent than snow patches. Glacierets are typified by a density of close-to-bottom ice of about 0.6 to 0.8 g cm–3, presence of annual layers in the vertical cross-section, and long- term persistence — decades to centuries (G r u n e w a l d et al.

  • Bulgaria's Pirin Mountains
    The Pirin Mountains, Bulgaria ABODE OF THE THUNDER GOD 13th - 27th June Introduction The YRC meet to Bulgaria came about after a chance communication from Lizzie Alderson, who runs Pirin Adventures, a company which provides mountaineering, trekking and walking holidays in the Pirin Mountains of Bulgaria. Further conversations with Lizzie in Leeds and some research on the internet confirmed that it would be a novel and extremely interesting location for an overseas meet, with plenty of scope for a fortnight’s hut-to-hut trekking, taking in ridges and summits as we pleased. Named after Perun, the Thracian god of thunder and lightning, the Pirin Mountains are crystalline and located in southwest Bulgaria within the western part of the Rila-Rhodope massif. The Pirin massif slopes southwards and has a width of 30-35km. The main axis is oriented NW-SE with an approximate length of 70km. The northern part of the range comprises the Pirin National Park of 232 square kilometres, which has UNESCO status. The geology is complex but the mountain ridges are mostly granite. The Koncheto ridge and its continuation over Kutelo and Vihren summits are different and comprise marbleised karst with remains of the granite intrusion and some limestone. Limestone is also present around Mt Orelyak to the east. There are over 180 glacial tarns and lakes in Pirin. The Alpine zone scree and rocks are replaced by sub-alpine meadow-bush areas around 2300m and mountain forest between 1000-2000m. This ecological diversity was enhanced by the rapidly ablating snowfields present in June, providing us with an amazing display of flora and fauna.

  • BREAD HOUSES NETWORK BULGARIA BREAD (FOR SOCIAL CHANGE) CULTURAL ROUTE “Travel with a Mission”
    BREAD HOUSES NETWORK BULGARIA BREAD (FOR SOCIAL CHANGE) CULTURAL ROUTE “Travel with a mission” The Bread Cultural Route "Travel with a mission" is not a tourist attraction but a destination of experiences. It was developed by Dr. Nadezhda Savova–Grigorova, cultural anthropologist awarded as “Traveler with a Mission of the Year 2012” by the global National Geographic for having travelled 76 countries exploring their bread traditions and helping communities through her “bread therapy” methods. The Bread Cultural Route integrates the categories of cultural, social and green alternative tourism, offering tourists interactive activities that leave them with lasting emotional memory from their vacation in Bulgaria. The route passes through the socio-cultural centers Bread House, part of the Bread Houses Network Bulgaria (www.breadhousesnetwork.org; www.bread.bg) in six cities with rich history and traditions (Veliko Turnovo, Gabrovo, Plovdiv, Koprivshtitsa, Stara Zagora, Sofia). In each house the tourists will master different recipes for the preparation of traditional bread and pastry products and as part of our innovative method for community baking called "Theater of crumbs" they will recreate impressions from each city by drawing in flour and creating sculptures/symbols and out of dough based on local intriguing stories about the bread, the old ovens and bakers and general history of the city, researched and narrated by the leader in every house. Optionally, group kneading may be arranged in a mixed group with disadvantaged people who we assist in every city (nursing homes, orphanages, children and adults with disabilities), which is a unique opportunity for tourists to "travel with a mission" to meet with people in need and create unforgettable emotional ties.

Milen Penerliev 1 Alternative tourism is a form of tourism which represents an alternative to the conventional mass tourism. Its forms are small-scale, low-density, divided into forms practiced in urban (religious, cultural, business) and rural areas. Alternative tourism is an attempt to preserve, protect and improve the quality of the existing resource base, which is fundamental for tourism itself. Alternative tourism is featured by active encouragement and care for the development of additional andspecific attractions as well the infrastructure, which are based on the local resources, while at the same time aiding the latter. It has an impact on the quality of life in the region, improves the infrastructure and increases the educational and cultural level of the local community.

The taxa from families to species are sup­ plied with synonymy, descriptions of external morphology, anatomy, bionomics, distribution and all records from Bulgaria. It also includes the original key to all species. The illustrative material comprises 118 drawings, including 116 made by the author, and maps of localities on UTM grid. The occurrence of 37 slug species was ascertained, including 1 species (Tandonia pirinia- na) which is quite new for scientists. The occurrence of other 4 species known from publications could not bo established. Basing on the variety of slug fauna two zoogeographical limits were indicated. One separating the Stara Pianina Mountains from south-western massifs (Pirin, Rila, Rodopi, Vitosha. Mountains), the other running across the range of Stara Pianina in the^area of Shipka pass. INTRODUCTION Like other Balkan countries, Bulgaria is an area of Palearctic especially interesting in respect to malacofauna. So far little investigation has been carried out on molluscs of that country and very few papers on slugs (mostly contributions) were published. The papers by B a b o r (1898) and J u r in ić (1906) are the oldest ones.

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.

  • The Balkan Fold-Thrust Belt: an Overview of the Main Features

The Balkan Fold-Thrust Belt: an overview of the main features Dian Vangelov1, Yanko Gerdjikov1, Alexandre Kounov2, Anna Lazarova3 1Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, 15 Tsar Osvoboditel Blvd, 1504 Sofia, Bulgaria; e-mail: [email protected] 2Geological-Paleontological Institute, Geoscience Department, Basel University; e-mail: [email protected] 3Geological Institute, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Acad. G. Bonchev Str., Bl. 24, 1113 Sofia, Bulgaria; e-mail: [email protected] (Accepted in revised form: November 2013) Abstract. The Balkan Fold-Thrust Belt is a part of the northern branch of the Alpine-Himalayan orogen in the Balkan Peninsula and represents a Tertiary structure developed along the southern margin of the Moesian Platform. The thrust belt displays of two clearly distinct parts: an eastern one dominated exclusively by thin-skinned thrusting and a western part showing ubiquitous basement involvement. A wide transitional zone is locked between both parts where the structural style is dominantly thin-skinned, but with significant pre-Mesozoic basement involvement in the more internal parts. For the western thick-skinned part the poorly developed syn-orogenic flysch is a characteristic feature that along with the very restricted development of foreland basin suggests a rather limited orogenic shortening compared to the eastern part of the belt. The Tertiary Balkan Fold-Thrust Belt originated mainly through a basement- driven shortening and this is explained by the occurrence of compatibly oriented reactivated basement weak zones of pre-Carboniferous, Jurassic and Early Cretaceous ages. The proposed re-definition of the Balkan thrusts system and internal structure of the allochthons also call for significant re-assessment of the existing schemes of tectonic subdivision.
