Blagoevgrad – Getting to Rila Monastery – Blagoevgrad to Skopje via Kyusten

I am cross-posting this information on the Macedonia thread, though I realise only the final paragraph of this post relates to that country.

Recently I was in Plovdiv, and wanted to visit Rila Monastery by public transport without first going to Sofia. I wondered whether it was feasible to visit the monastery based in Blagoevgrad, and then travel on to Skopje without going through Sofia. As I found little information on these questions, and some of what I did find turned out to be incorrect now, I thought I’d write a few comments which might help possible future travellers.

First, I really liked Blagoevgrad. Wikitravel has some reasonable information on the city, but it is not covered in the LP Eastern Europe guide. There are two bus stations located very close to the train station. The bus station at which I arrived from Plovdiv, was also the one from which I took buses to... more »

Koprivshtitsa to Veliko Turnovo

I need to get from Koprivshtitsa to Veliko Turnovo. I checked on Train, but the connection in Tulovo is only 15 min.
Are there buses from Koprivshtitsa to Tulovo or from Tulovo to Veliko Turnovo? Is there a direct bus from
Koprivshtitsa to Veliko Turnovo? I am travelling with children, so train would be the better option.

Thank you for your help.

Varna to Ruse

Hello

We are spending a week in Varna, going out next week, and would like to visit Ruse while we are there. This is a very last minute decision, I have had a look at the timetable and the trip takes about 4 hours.

Has ayone done this trip or have any experience of Bulgarian buses? Would it be better to hire a car? We have never visited Bulgaria before so would be very grateful for any advice.

Many thanks in advance.

Campsites with cabins in Bulgaria (& Romania) - Recommendations!

Hello,

I'm visiting Bulgaria and Romania in late June / early July. My trip (roughly) will be to visit the Carpathians around Brasov / Sinaia region. Then I will be going south to Bulgaria to the mountains in the central / SE part of the country.

Nothing booked, just going to follow my interests when I'm out there. I will be doing day hikes, but nothing too serious.

I'm keen (if possible) to stay in cabins in campsites rather than in hotels or guesthouses.

However, I can't seem to find any listings for campsites with cabins to hire for a few days at a time on the internet.

I was wondering if you guys could recommend any? The cabins can be very basic, as long as they have bedding.

Also, any mountains towns / village you'd recommend as a base for day hikes in the aforementioned regions?

I was thinking (roughly):

Sinaia (Romania)
Troyan (Bulgaria)

Mezek Мезек > Svilengrad Свиленград BUS

Hi

I found a page, that suggests, that there is regular bus service between Kapitan Andreevo and Svilengrad.
http://www.svilengrad24.info/spravochnik.php?pg=transport_svilengrad
"6.00 , 14.00 , 17.20ч. Събота и неделя: 9.00 , 14.00 , 17.20ч."

Though most of travellers on this route seem to hitch or tax.

Where could I find information about Mezek > Svilengrad bus connection.
Some Russians confirm, that it's regular.
