5.00We took the Vratsa Karst and Ledenika Cave tour. What an amazing day. Our guide was Meto and he was wonderful. We were staying with a Bulgarian family and he picked us up and dropped us off at their residence. His vast and intimate knowledge of the history was a constant source of surprises to us (even to my Bulgarian fiancée) and his talent for story telling entertained us during the full day tour. He was also more than fully prepared for this little adventure, with walking sticks ready for us, As for the tour itself, the Vratsa Mountains was truly beautiful place, but getting to the Borov Kamak waterfall is a bit of adventure, with steep climbs and many wooden bridges and ladders. Because of the many recent rainy days, the waterfall was full, and we took a trail behind the waterfall, which soaked us all. Here again Meto was fully prepared for get us warm and dry. With our socks and shoes drenched, we merrily hiked on for another few hours, enjoying the majestic scenery. Ledenika Cave is one of the many beautiful caves Bulgaria has open for visitors. The formations were fantastic. We have found out that when the Bulgarian people use the word "tourist", it usually does not mean sightseeing and amusement parks - it rather means someone who goes on hiking through nature. If this sounds like your idea of fun, this is your tour.
