Steep cliffs, picturesque sandy beaches and crystal-clear water - this is the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria. A magnet for sun-seeking tourists from all over Europe. In the evening, cheerful music, fiery dances and colorful traditional costumes. Pure Balkan cliché! But Bulgaria has more to offer than just sea and beach: wild mountains, over 2,500 meters high, where bears and wolves live, rugged rock formations where vultures search for food and the picturesque Danube lowlands with bee-eaters and blue rock thrushes make up the other, unknown part of the country.
