Gita in bici di un giorno da Burgas a Malko Tarnovo

Set off from the lively Black Sea city of Burgas, known for its sea gardens, long beaches, and vibrant cultural scene. Soon you’ll leave the urban buzz behind and roll south on a real mixed-terrain adventure ride to Malko Tarnovo, the only Bulgarian town deep within the mystical Strandzha mountains.

It’s a solid 100 km journey—pack your snacks and plenty of water! Be ready for a pulse-raising climb: you’ll conquer nearly 2,000 meters of elevation, winding through tranquil roads and rugged tracks (over 40% of the way is natural paths). Most of the route is away from traffic, letting you soak up Strandzha’s vast forests, remote villages, and quiet beauty.

Your destination, Malko Tarnovo, sits just a hop from the Turkish border and offers a peek into Bulgaria’s mountain traditions and heritage. If you love a long ride with a bit of grit and a lot of scenery, don’t miss this route!
