In our column "Feel Bulgaria with..." we continue to meet you with great young people who share one passion - that of traveling and getting to know Bulgaria, and sharing this passion of theirs with others. Today we introduce you to Angela Ivanova and thanks to her we will be transported virtually to several beautiful places all over Bulgaria. But before that, a few words from Angela, about herself:
My name is Angela Ivanova and on my social networks I like to share positive and beautiful shots that will make people smile even for a moment in their hectic daily lives. Photography opens doors to magical places where we can peek and marvel. It makes me dream, I want to travel around every corner of our country and learn more about the history, culture and the way they lived there, and about our nature I can only say that it is indescribably beautiful and makes me I feel proud to be Bulgarian! Every place I visit I close my eyes for a moment and try to feel the strong energy that radiates and for seconds fills me with positive energy forcing me to continue my adventures. My love for the homeland is sacred, and through the photos I have the opportunity to imagine what I see through my eyes. I want everyone to see and realize in what an amazing country we are fortunate to be born and to be grateful!

...
🐻 It houses rescued bears that were once dancing and have traveled all over Bulgaria.
At the entrance, we were told very interesting information about how they actually did not "dance", but had rings attached to their noses, their owners pulled them and thus caused them pain. Also, many of them were kept in cramped cells without any greenery. There was a bear in the park who, despite being rescued many years ago, kept pacing back and forth nervously. They explained to us that he was left with a trauma from those times. 😢 There are rescued bears from several countries in the park. ...

Kamen Del Peak
📍How to get there? By bus 66 to the last stop of Hotel Moreni. After walking for about 5-10 minutes we reach the hut "Aleko" where we can eat or drink something before leaving.
📍The route is very pleasant and not burdensome. There is a marking to orient us all the time and there is no way to get lost. The path leads us to the plateau where a beautiful view opens. The sun was shining very pleasantly and there were many beautiful ones flowers, which were a joy to the eye.
📍 After a long walk we reach the shelter "Ears" and continue a little further where you can not see the many people who have gathered at the top of Kamen del. Its height is 1862 m.
The view is impressive and from there you can see absolutely all of Sofia. 💖
📍 We returned through the route of the Golden Bridges and once again I enjoyed this beautiful view.
I am really impressed by the beauty of our nature and I invite everyone who has not yet gone there to do so, because it remains a wonderful memory for a lifetime and I guarantee you that you will have a very pleasant time.
