Travel Guide to Blue mountains

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving from a central location in the Danubian Plain, head towards the town of Ruse. From Ruse, take the E85 highway towards the south. Continue on E85 for about 50 kilometers until you reach the town of Byala. From Byala, follow the signs towards the Blue Mountains, which will involve taking local roads. The coordinates for the Blue Mountains are approximately 42.733883 latitude and 25.48583 longitude, so you can use a GPS device for precise navigation. Expect to pay toll fees on the highway which can be around 10-15 BGN depending on your vehicle type.

• Public Transportation

  To reach the Blue Mountains via public transportation, first, take a bus from Ruse to the town of Byala. Buses run frequently and the journey takes about 1 hour. Once in Byala, you will need to take a local taxi or rideshare service to reach the Blue Mountains, as public transport options may be limited in that area. The taxi fare should be around 15-25 BGN depending on your negotiation skills and the time of day.

• Combination of Car and Hiking

  If you are already near the Danubian Plain and prefer an adventure, consider parking your car in the nearest town and hiking to the Blue Mountains. Park in a safe area and take local trails that are marked on hiking maps. The hiking trails may take you through scenic landscapes and are well worth the effort. Ensure that you have proper hiking gear and enough water. Also, check the weather conditions before heading out.
