Excursión ciclista de un día de Varna a Zlatni Pyasatsi

Looking for a scenic ride along Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast? This route takes you from bustling Varna—the country’s “Sea Capital”—up to the lively resort of Golden Sands. Covering about 29 km, it’s a mix of peaceful backroads, forest tracks, and a few stretches on gravel, so a hybrid or gravel bike is a good pick.

You’ll start in Varna, famous for its charming seafront and Roman Baths, and soon trade city views for lush hills and sea glimpses. There’s a decent bit of climbing—over 500 meters of ascent—but the rolling terrain keeps things interesting. Most of the ride is on quiet roads, which means less traffic and more time to soak up nature.

Reaching Golden Sands, get ready for golden beaches and lively promenades. It’s a popular summer spot with lots of cafes to refuel. Don’t forget your swimwear—you’ll want a dip after this ride!
