Cyclists can explore not only the towns and villages, but also the mountains, the lush pine forests, enjoy the cerulean lakes and hurrying mountain brooks. In mountain lodges, herb tea is a must to sample, and sitting by the stove is a delight. At the seaside, touring beaches, especially pristine ones near small towns, is easy on bikes, with new destinations awaiting cyclists each day. A host of quiet roads invite for cycling, to places untouched by buys tourism, which accounts for their charm for bikers coming to Bulgaria to explore nature and history there.

Cyclists can draw up itineraries comprising food and wine festivals which are regular events in the country, to combine the enrichment of their knowledge of the country with the sampling of national dishes, replete with spices, vegetables galore, and therefore uniquely scrumptious.

Cycling can be done easily, with the opportunities for renting bikes, equipment, and all accessories needed. It is essential to limit the weight of a packed rucksack to 7 kg at most. Comfortable shoes, padded shorts, waterproof trousers, good cycling socks, windproof jackets are among the essentials.

The Bulgarian Cycling Association combines member companies which provide facilities and guidance for cycling tourism. There is a project which will soon provide an Euro Velo route: the Black Sea cycling trail.
