About the Tour

Strandzha is not just a mountain—it’s a feeling.

Here, time flows more slowly, nature is raw and authentic, and the roads lead to places that seem untouched by the modern world.

This cycling tour is designed for those seeking tranquility, nature, and meaningful movement.

We will ride along forest roads, by the sea, and along the Veleka River—at a pace that allows you to fully enjoy every view.
