Climbing

The history of climbing in Bulgaria dates back to 1930s when the first pioners Georgi Atanasov, Konstantin Savadziev and Encho Petkov made their premiers in Vratca, Maliovitza, Vihren and many other tours. There are challenging routes with diverse rates of difficulties in almost all parts of the country. The region of Maliovitza peak in Rila Mountain is the place of the longest tradition in climbing in Bulgaria. There is also a National Mountain School with courses in climbing and sports orienteering.
