The third and final section of Bulgarian landscapes covers a broader geography. We'll look at Bulgaria from the heights of the Shipka Pass, stroll through vineyards and fields near the town of Chernomorets, and stand on a high cliff near the town of Veliko Tarnovo.
How can I summarize my Bulgarian entries? We saw the coastal, flat, and mountainous parts of the country. I've already written about visiting the cities separately.
That's all I wanted to tell you about my first visit to Bulgaria.
First, a mountain theme. Shipka Pass. As the saying goes, the only thing better than mountains is mountains.
A stone wall protects you from falling off the cliff edge. Nature protects you.
Flowers and the Balkan Mountains.
The Balkan Mountains disappear into infinity.
Cloudy weather has its own beauty.
The Bulgarian plantations are about a kilometre below.
And now we're near the coastal town of Chernomorets. If you venture further inland, you'll find yourself in a truly lovely landscape. Numerous vineyards surround the area, surrounded by small mountains.
Looks like there are still some left over from the people's government.
The grapes are not ripe yet, so the pictures are without bunches.
Field. Bulgarian field.
Wheat fields surround the vineyards shown earlier.
I decided to hike up one of the mountains. I came across a small nature reserve. I tried to walk through it and find the way up.
I found a small lake at the foot of that very mountain.
The road through the nature reserve. It's a good thing there was no one there. Otherwise, I might have been facing a fine.
I couldn't find the way up. Eventually, I came out the other side and found myself back in the field.
This time the field is surrounded by hills and mountains.
It was along this gypsy road that I reached the people.
Mountains again. Republic Pass. The road runs along the bottom of this gorge, and that's where I found myself.
Photographs don't always convey the differences in altitude in the mountains. But here it's clearly visible.
And a little mountain lavender for the scent.
