Enjoy the wonders of the Bulgarian Amazon- The Ropotamo River
Day 9- After breakfast we will head to Ropotamo river for a boat trip. The Bulgarian Amazon, as it is called, is almost 50 kilometers long, but only 9 of them are navigable. The area on both sides of the Ropotamo River was declared a protected area in 1940, and in 1992 it was expanded and declared a reserve with a total area of 1000.7 ha. On the territory of the reserve there are many interesting and unique natural sites - estuary and floodplain of the river Ropotamo with natural forests, natural sand dunes and beach, deciduous forests with Mediterranean elements. You will spot Wild boar, red deer, jackals, foxes, otters, goldfinches, deer, over 260 species of birds and some very rare species of bats in the reserve, along with several species of amphibians, reptiles and fish.
