We will visit a traditional Rose distillery where we will find out more about the process of extracting the oil from the flowers.

We traveled a long time in the snow and walked through the high snow Dobrin is an exceptional, helpful and kind guide We also did an unscheduled taking me to see the Arch of Liberty placed in the Balkan mountains difficult to reach because of the heavy snowfall. Thanks for everything Dobrin
