*Around 660 km from Sofia through the Revival villages of the Sredna Gora to Plovdiv, through the Rose Valley and over the Shipka Pass to the craftsmen’s towns of the Balkan Mountains, to Veliko Tarnovo and out onto the karst plateau of Lovech with its cave and waterfalls.*

## The spirit of the route

This route stays in the interior of the country, where Bulgaria organised its language, its schools and its uprising against the Ottomans in the 19th century. You park in front of timber houses with blue and ochre façades, behind whose oriel windows merchants once received their guests, and in the evening all you hear are the fountains on the village square. In the morning the Rose Valley smells of distillate and cut grass, and the dark ridge of the Balkan Mountains rises above the plain. Then the camper climbs in hairpins over the Shipka Pass, with the Freedom Monument at the top and, to the east on a summit, the grey ring of Buzludzha. On the north side come workshops where water wheels drive looms, and a tsars’ city whose houses hang above the loops of the Yantra. At the end, water flows over moss-green travertine steps in the beech forest, and through the open sliding door you see storks on the power poles above the sunflower fields.

## Stage-by-stage plan

### Stage 1: Sofia to Koprivshtitsa (approx. 110 km)

- **The drive:** Out of Sofia east on Road 6 via Gorna Malina and through the basin of Zlatitsa and Pirdop, then after Anton turn south and take a narrow, winding minor road past the railway station up into the high valley of Koprivshtitsa at a good 1000 metres. Road 6 is a two-lane trunk road with lorry traffic and village through-roads; the last few kilometres are narrow and patched. Around 1.75–2 hours. Sofia serves only as the starting point here; the Rila Monastery, Pirin and the Black Sea coast are covered in the CampingSpirit guide “Monastery frescoes, sand pyramids and the scent of roses”.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Revival houses of Koprivshtitsa: the Oslekov House with its painted façade and columned portico, the Lyutov House with carved ceilings and felt rugs, plus the birthplaces of Todor Kableshkov, Georgi Benkovski, Lyuben Karavelov and the poet Dimcho Debelyanov; several houses can be visited on a combined ticket.
  - Bridge of the “First Rifle Shot” (Kalachev Bridge): at this small stone bridge over the Topolnitsa the first shot of the April Uprising was fired in April 1876.
  - Walk up to the Benkovski Monument on the hill above the village: view over the tiled roofs and the meadows of the Sredna Gora.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** There is no regular campsite in Koprivshtitsa. On the northern edge of the village, around 500 m from the centre, Campercontact lists a tarmac car park (“Parking Koprivshtitsa”), guarded according to the listing, where motorhomes may stay overnight for a fee – with toilet and rubbish bins, but no water, electricity or waste disposal; camping behaviour is not permitted; check the details on site. About 14 km south, near Strelcha, a basic camping area is entered in OpenStreetMap; check its status. If you need fresh water and waste disposal, use one of the service stations listed in the north of Sofia before setting off.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Koprivshtitsa is a protected architectural reserve; sleeping in your vehicle in the narrow lanes and on the village square is neither intended nor practical. On forest and meadow tracks in the Sredna Gora outside protected areas, a discreet overnight stay is usually tolerated according to user reports; on pastures, ask the owner or shepherd first.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Buy the e-vignette before your first kilometre outside Sofia – it applies not only on motorways but also on the national roads outside towns, so on Road 6 too. Explore the village on foot: the lanes are cobbled, steep and unsuitable for motorhomes. The high valley is noticeably cooler than Sofia, and nights can be chilly even in summer.

### Stage 2: Koprivshtitsa to Plovdiv (approx. 105 km)

- **The drive:** South over the wooded ridge of the Sredna Gora down to Strelcha and along the southern edge of the mountains to Hisarya, then across the flat Thracian Plain with orchards and fields to Plovdiv. As far as Strelcha narrow and winding with a varying surface, then quiet country roads with potholes in the villages; allow for horse-drawn carts and tractors. Around 2–2.25 hours.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Hisarya: spa town with mineral springs and a well-preserved Roman town wall; the south gate, called “Kamilite” (the camels) because of its arched shape, is worth a short stop.
  - Nebet Tepe hill in Plovdiv: remains of the Thracian and medieval fortifications, a view over the Maritsa and the city’s rooftops, the best viewpoint in the evening.
  - Old town and Kapana: the Ethnographic Museum in the Kuyumdzhiev House, the Balabanov House and, in the evening, the workshop and bar lanes of the Kapana quarter north of the pedestrian zone.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** In Hisarya, “Camping Terme di Hissar”, a campsite at a thermal spa, is entered in OpenStreetMap – handy for visiting Plovdiv as a day trip from here (around 40 km). On the southern outskirts of Plovdiv lies the Glamping & Motel “Alliance”, entered in OpenStreetMap. Ask in advance about facilities, pitch sizes and waste disposal in each case.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Within Plovdiv, sleeping on streets and in car parks is not intended; the centre consists of paid parking zones. Around Hisarya there are fields and vineyards; farm tracks are private land, so stop there only with permission.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Don’t drive the motorhome into the old town on the three hills – cobblestones, one-way streets and tight passages. Better to find a guarded car park on the edge of the centre or take the bus from Hisarya. Plovdiv has large supermarkets and DIY stores, good for supplies and gas cartridges before the mountain stages.

### Stage 3: Plovdiv to Kazanlak (approx. 175 km)

- **The drive:** First a short detour south: via Asenovgrad on the road to Smolyan into the narrow valley of the Chaya as far as Bachkovo Monastery (around 30 km), then back through Plovdiv and north via Karlovo into the Rose Valley and east on Road 6 to Kazanlak. The valley road to Bachkovo is narrow, busy and has rockfall spots; from Karlovo a wide country road across the valley floor between the Balkan Mountains and the Sredna Gora. Around 3.5 hours of pure driving time.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Bachkovo Monastery (short stop only): founded in 1083, with the church holding the venerated icon of the Mother of God in the courtyard and the refectory with frescoes; the old ossuary church a little way off is usually open only at times.
  - Asen’s Fortress above Asenovgrad: the Church of the Holy Mother of God Petrichka on a rocky spur above the gorge, short, steep access road.
  - Kazanlak: the Thracian tomb from the 4th century BC (UNESCO World Heritage) in Tyulbeto Park with a walk-in replica, the Rose Museum in the Rosarium and the “Kulata” Ethnographic Complex, where rose oil distillation in a copper still is demonstrated.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** At the Koprinka reservoir south-east of Kazanlak, Kalvacha Camping is entered in OpenStreetMap with electricity, drinking water, showers, toilets and waste disposal. North of the town, near the village of Kran, a motorhome pitch is listed at the “Kranskoto Hanche” inn. Check season and opening in advance.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Don’t stay overnight at the Bachkovo monastery car park; it is full during the day and serves as residents’ access in the evening. The fields in the Rose Valley are farmed; during the harvest don’t park on field edges – the pickers and tractors need the tracks.
- **Insider tip for campers:** The rose harvest falls in early summer and begins early in the morning while the dew is still on the blossoms – that is when the distilleries are working too and the town celebrates its Rose Festival; pitches and parking then get scarce. Rose oil is expensive; genuine oil is sold by distilleries and museum shops with a stated origin. Keep clothing for Bachkovo to hand: shoulders and knees covered.

### Stage 4: Kazanlak to Tryavna (approx. 95 km)

- **The drive:** Via the village of Shipka on Road 5 in hairpins up to the Shipka Pass, there a detour east on the narrow, partly damaged road to the Buzludzha summit and back, then down the north side through beech forest, turn off to the Etar open-air museum before Gabrovo and on via Gabrovo to Tryavna. Steep pass road with many hairpins and lorry traffic; use engine braking on the descent; fog is frequent at the pass. Around 2.5 hours of driving, a full day with sightseeing.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Shipka Memorial Church: the Russian Orthodox church with gilded domes above the village, crypt with sarcophagi of those who fell in 1877/78; on foot from the car park down in the village.
  - Buzludzha: the former House of the Bulgarian Communist Party on the summit, from the outside only. The interior is not generally accessible because of the risk of collapse, and stabilisation work on the building has been going on for some time – check the current situation in advance and respect barriers.
  - Etar open-air museum near Gabrovo: craftsmen’s street with shops and workshops, water-powered fulling mill, lathe and grain mill by the stream – a piece of 19th-century engineering.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Hardly any campsites are listed around Gabrovo and Tryavna. The nearest is the site entered in OpenStreetMap as “Kamping Strinava” near Dryanovo Monastery, south of the town of Dryanovo (around 20 km from Tryavna, close to the route of the next stage), listed with electricity, drinking water, showers and toilets. In Tryavna itself, according to the apps, some guesthouses offer pitches; clarify facilities and access in advance.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** The Shipka Pass lies in Bulgarka Nature Park. Camping is not intended on the Buzludzha site or on the meadows at the summit, and in fog and storms the exposed summit is no place to spend the night. In Tryavna and Gabrovo, sleeping in town is impractical; the streets are narrow and steep.
- **Insider tip for campers:** The access road to Buzludzha is narrow, potholed and without crash barriers; long vehicles are better parked down at the turn-off. There are snack stalls at the Shipka Pass but hardly any water. Arrive early at Etar and take your time looking at the workshops; the museum car parks are designed for coaches. If you don’t want to drive the motorhome through Tryavna’s old town, park down on the main road.

### Stage 5: Tryavna to Veliko Tarnovo (approx. 50 km)

- **The drive:** From Tryavna north via Plachkovtsi and Dryanovo onto Road 5 and along it to Veliko Tarnovo. A short stage on decent country roads with a few bends; in Veliko Tarnovo narrow, steep old-town streets and little parking space. Around 1 hour.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Tryavna in the morning: the square with the clock tower of 1814, the Old School and the Daskalov House with two carved suns on the ceilings, created in a contest between two masters of the Tryavna woodcarving school; next door the Museum of Woodcarving.
  - Tsarevets Fortress in Veliko Tarnovo: walls, gates and Patriarch’s Hill with the church whose modern, expressive murals tell the history of the Second Bulgarian Empire.
  - Arbanasi: the Konstantsaliev House, a fortified merchant’s house with a stone base and timber upper floor, and the Church of the Archangels Michael and Gabriel; panoramic view over the Yantra valley.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** East of Veliko Tarnovo, in the village of Dragizhevo, lies Camping Veliko Tarnovo, entered in OpenStreetMap, well kept according to user reports, with electricity and sanitary facilities. Further south-east, near Kapinovo Monastery, a campsite with a tent meadow and a motorhome pitch with electricity and waste disposal are entered. Both depend on taxi or bus for the town; check the season in advance.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** There are no suitable overnight car parks in Veliko Tarnovo; the old town is narrow and hilly. In Arbanasi there are car parks on the plateau at churches and restaurants; stay overnight there only after asking.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Don’t let the satnav route you through Veliko Tarnovo’s old town – for motorhomes it is a trap of one-way streets and hairpin bends. Drive to Arbanasi early in the morning before the coaches arrive. Allow time for the craftsmen’s street Samovodska charshiya on the edge of the old town; on some evenings Tsarevets is lit up with a sound-and-light show – ask locally for dates.

### Stage 6: Veliko Tarnovo to Lovech (approx. 90 km)

- **The drive:** West through the hilly foothills of the Balkan Mountains via Sevlievo and on to Lovech in the valley of the Osam. Country roads of varying surface quality, long straights through fields and copses, potholes and horse-drawn carts in the villages. Around 1.5 hours.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Covered bridge over the Osam: a footbridge with shops under a timber roof, originally designed by Kolyu Ficheto, rebuilt after a fire and reconstructed in the early 1980s following his design.
  - Varosha old quarter: Revival houses on the slope above the river, the Vasil Levski Museum and small cobbled lanes.
  - Hisarya Fortress on the rock above the town: remains of the medieval castle where the Peace of Lovech was concluded in 1187; opposite, on Stratesh hill, stands the large Levski Monument with a view over the valley.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** No campsite is entered in OpenStreetMap around Lovech. The apps show changing pitches at guesthouses and inns, mainly in Krushuna and on the Devetaki Plateau – clarify facilities, access and season in advance. If you need full fresh-water and waste services, take care of them in Veliko Tarnovo.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Outside protected areas, sleeping in a vehicle is not generally prohibited in Bulgaria. Within Lovech, park only discreetly on riverbanks and in car parks and don’t put anything outside; in Stratesh Park on the edge of town, don’t drive off the roads.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Fill up and shop in Sevlievo and Lovech: on the plateau with the cave and waterfalls there are only village shops. Explore the bridge and Varosha on foot and park the motorhome on the new-town side. Many filling stations in the region sell autogas for refilling refillable gas bottles.

### Stage 7: Lovech to Krushuna (approx. 35 km)

- **The drive:** North-east onto the Devetaki karst plateau: across the Osam bridge to the village of Devetaki with the turn-off to the cave, and on to Krushuna. A short, quiet stage on narrow country roads with patched sections; the access road to the cave and the car park in Krushuna are tight for very long vehicles. Around 45 minutes of pure driving time.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Devetashka Cave: a huge portal above the Osam, with light falling into the main hall through openings in the ceiling; used by people since the Neolithic and today home to large bat colonies – access may be restricted at times to protect them; keep quiet, observe barriers, check access and opening times in advance.
  - Krushuna Falls: travertine cascades in the beech forest in the Maarata area; a path with boardwalks and steps leads from the edge of the village to the falls and on to Maarata Cave, from which the stream emerges; according to visitor reports a small entrance fee is charged at the entrance.
  - Edge of the Devetaki Plateau: view into the canyon of the Osam and north across the plain, sunflower and wheat fields to the horizon.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Here too there is no listed campsite; according to user reports, guesthouses in Krushuna and Devetaki offer pitches on meadows, usually with water and a toilet, rarely with electricity. The return to Sofia via Lovech and the A2 motorway (Hemus) is around 200 km.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** The cave and the waterfalls are protected natural monuments; don’t stay overnight in the car parks at the cave and the waterfalls, and don’t light fires in the forest. On the plateau outside protected areas, stand quietly and discreetly and don’t block farm tracks.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Visit the waterfalls on a weekday morning; at weekends many day-trippers come from Lovech and Pleven. After rain the boardwalks and steps are slippery, so wear sturdy shoes. Stay on the paths and don’t step on the delicate travertine terraces.

## Camping practice & local rules

### Wild camping & overnight parking

- Bulgaria has no general nationwide ban on sleeping in a vehicle. Camping outside designated places is prohibited in national parks, in nature reserves and at natural monuments such as Devetashka Cave or Krushuna Falls; on private land you need the owner’s permission. The Shipka Pass lies in Bulgarka Nature Park.
- In practice, quiet parking at passes, monasteries and village edges is usually tolerated as long as you behave as if parked: no chairs, no awning, no grey water, no fire. In architectural reserves such as Koprivshtitsa, Tryavna or Arbanasi, stay in designated car parks.
- Dogs: stray dogs live in towns and villages, and large shepherd dogs work with the flocks in the mountains – keep your distance, don’t run away, don’t feed them. Your own dogs need an EU pet passport, a microchip and a valid rabies vaccination; they are usually not allowed into monasteries and museums, and must be on a lead at the waterfalls and in the cave.
- Campsites and motorhome pitches in central Bulgaria are often small, private and listed only in park4night, Campercontact or OpenStreetMap; operation and facilities change. Here user reports and a call to the operator take the place of a catalogue.

### Waste disposal & supplies

- Service points for fresh water and waste disposal are rare and found almost only at campsites – on this route, for example, at the Koprinka reservoir near Kazanlak and around Veliko Tarnovo. Plan ahead between Kazanlak and Veliko Tarnovo and around Lovech; never empty chemical toilets or grey water into drains or into nature.
- Spring fountains (“cheshma”) stand beside many roads and on village squares; a sign reading “Непитейна вода” means: not drinking water. Filter or boil water from fountains without a sign before filling your tank.
- Autogas (“Propan-Butan”) is available at a great many filling stations and is cheap; take an adapter set for filling refillable gas bottles. German gas bottles are not exchanged.
- Since 2026 the euro has been the national currency; cash is still the norm in village shops, at monastery and museum ticket desks and at small pitches. There are cash machines in all the towns on the route.

### Vehicle size & traffic rules

- Speed limits for cars and motorhomes up to 3.5 t: 50 km/h in built-up areas, 90 km/h outside built-up areas, 120 km/h on expressways, 140 km/h on motorways, unless lower limits are signposted. Motorhomes over 3.5 t: 80 outside built-up areas, 90 on expressways, 100 km/h on motorways; vehicles with trailers: 70 outside built-up areas, 90 on expressways, 100 km/h on motorways; 50 km/h in built-up areas in each case. Speed cameras are common. Realistic average travel speed on the route’s country roads: 50–60 km/h.
- Tolls: vehicles up to 3.5 t need the electronic vignette, bought online via BG TOLL (bgtoll.bg or the app), linked to the number plate and checked by camera; it applies not only to motorways but also to the other national roads outside towns. Vehicles over 3.5 t generally pay distance-based tolls; vehicles registered as motorhomes (class M1 according to the registration) have been exempt from this since 2024 regardless of weight and need the e-vignette instead – check on bgtoll.bg before entering the country.
- Road conditions: Road 5 over the Shipka Pass and Road 6 through the Rose Valley are decently built; minor roads in the Sredna Gora and on the Devetaki Plateau have potholes, patches and no hard shoulders. Horse-drawn carts, pedestrians, livestock and dogs on the carriageway, often unlit at night – avoid driving after dark. Dipped headlights or daytime running lights are compulsory all year round.
- Blood alcohol limit 0.5; mobile phone at the wheel only hands-free. Carry a warning triangle, first-aid kit and high-visibility vest; a fire extinguisher is recommended. Sofia has a low-emission zone in the centre that may affect older vehicles – check the current status, though the route leaves the city on the arterial road to the east. In winter, snow chains may be required by signage at the Shipka Pass.

## CampingSpirit packing & preparation checklist

- Offline map with a setting for vehicle dimensions, because satnavs in Plovdiv, Tryavna and Veliko Tarnovo like to lead you through steep, narrow old-town lanes and onto the narrow access road to Buzludzha.
- Sturdy shoes with grippy soles for the wet boardwalks and steps at Krushuna Falls and the cobblestones of Koprivshtitsa and Tryavna.
- Long trousers and a scarf for shoulders and knees, to hand for Bachkovo, the Shipka Memorial Church and the churches of Arbanasi.
- Collapsible water container and water filter for topping up at spring fountains – between Kazanlak and Lovech there are hardly any service points outside the campsites.
- Gas adapter set for filling refillable gas bottles with the widely available autogas.
- Warm jacket and rain gear for the Shipka Pass and Buzludzha, where even in summer it is foggy, windy and noticeably colder than in the Rose Valley.

_As of 2026-10. Closures, fees and booking rules change: check official sources before you go._
