BELGRADE - SOFIA Bike Tour (9 - 19 August 2023) 

Summary

BELGRADE - SOFIA    11 days, 10 nights

Belgrade  ↠  Kovin  ↠  Golubac  ↠  Tekija  ↠  Negotin  ↠  Zajecar   

↠  Belogradchik  ↠  Glavatsi  ↠  Opletnya  ↠  Sofia 

   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 !

HIGHLIGHTS

* The beauty of the cycling route along the Danube in Serbia, in a wild and peaceful nature, between wide plains and deep valleys
* The crossing of
small towns and villages, in contact with quiet and welcoming natives
* The magnificent
castles, fortresses, monasteries and Orthodox churches along the cycling route
* The
discovery of the Balkans with its geological formations and its mountains which, on their own, are worth the trip
* The two national capitals, rich in history, monuments and architecture:
Belgrade (with a night boat cruise on the Danube offered) and Sofia
* The gastronomy in the two countries, which really deserves to be known

Forget the stress of everyday life, take a little break to spend a few days in fabulous landscapes !
