​

   700 km by bike in 9 days, 78 km on average per day, requires a minimum of physical preparation beforehand, but it is still cycling tourism, everyone at their own pace, with as many stops as the landscapes or shortness of breath deserve ! Quality dinners and accommodation are perfect to compensate for the efforts made on the bike...
   The first 4 stages follow the course of the Danube by EuroVélo 6, in the middle of the countryside. The rest takes place on secondary roads with little traffic : after a transition stage in Serbia, the relief will gradually rise in Bulgaria, until the exceptional crossing of the Balkans of Vratsa. The last stage winds along the Iscar river at the bottom of a valley dominated by pretty cliffs, before the triumphant arrival in Sofia !
   This cycle route is very complete, between capitals, small towns and above all open countryside, with 50% along the Danube and 50% for the crossing of the Balkans... Return to form guaranteed, with lots of images in mind !
