FAQs: Via Ferrata in Bulgaria
What should I know about Via Ferrata Bulgaria?
Situated in the southeast of Europe, the Balkan state of Bulgaria is largely covered with mountains, deep valleys, plains and plateaus. To the north it borders Romania, to the west it borders Serbia and Macedonia, to the south Turkey and Greece, while its eastern shores rest off the Black Sea. Despite its small size it offers a range of diversity, from snow-covered peaks to the sunny and mild Black Sea coast.
Why should I choose Bulgaria for my Via Ferrata adventure?
Underexplored gems
Hidden away in Eastern Europe, the Baltic beauty of Bulgaria has largely escaped the imagination of much of the global climbing community. The overlooked wonders of the Balkans make it an even more tempting place to discover. Picturesque mountain peaks, towering cliffs and quaint villages that lie at the foothills, and quality limestone walls. All makes for excellent climbing.
Ideal debut climb
The via ferrata climbs among the mountains of Bulgaria present the perfect opportunity for first-timers to conquer the rocks and reach their first summit by climbing. The accessible rock faces and relative ease of the technical side of things mean that if you’re curious about climbing but yet to grab the limestone rock with your bare hands, then Bulgaria is the best choice for you.
Charming cultural flavour
The natural landscapes of Bulgaria offer an old world feel in the heart of Europe. Rust-coloured rooftops are scattered across the deep valleys, while animals roam in the green pastures that roll across the mountains. Sheepherders tend their flocks and horses trot along the dirt trails. Bulgaria has kept its ancient feel.

we approached Explore - Share to find a guide for the Via Ferrata Malyovitsa in Bulgaria. Nikolay Pavlov responded and from this moment remain in ongoing communication to make sure we receive a great service. he was very responsive and was kind enough to assist us in planning additional hiking days. on the July 31st we met one of his guides - Stoimaen (AKA - Bambita) and another guide - Elena which led my partner and myself through the Via Ferrata with a lot of good spirit and patience (and passion).they made the introduction to Bulgarian outdoors much enjoyable. The additional tips we received from this great team enhanced the quality of our Bulgarian adventure. much recommended. Regards Natasha & Tomer

We had 2 very professional guides whom we enjoyed very much. But this is a medium moderated course and it's not for people with no experience. It was a full day trip.
