Spring is a season that symbolizes beginnings. With the appearance of snowdrops, the blooming of flowers, the arrival of storks and the awakening of animals from hibernation, new life begins. The mild climate of the spring season lends itself to walks anywhere. Therefore, there is no better time for walks than when the sun is moderately hot, the birds are chirping, and the air is light and fresh - spring makes us go outside and admire nature! In this article, we offer you 5 great places for a walk in spring in Bulgaria. Here they are…
1. Rowing base Plovdiv
Initially, the rowing base in Plovdiv is a sports facility where athletes practice the sport of rowing. But in fact, any ordinary person can be admitted to the site. The summer in Plovdiv is unbearably hot, so the ideal time for walks in the area is the coming spring. A trip around the rowing canal with a fresh in hand is more than a great choice. And if you're lucky, you'll also come across the training of some professional athletes. And be sure to bring a phone with a good camera, because the place is more than ideal for photos and videos!

3. Kleptusa Park
If you find yourself in the spa capital Velingrad during the spring break, which is very likely, you must visit one of the emblems of the city - Kleptusa. The park is located in Chepino district. It is a collection of shady alleys, benches, gazebos, a children's playground and a karst lake. Lake "Kleptuza" is the largest karst spring in Bulgaria, it is worth seeing with your own eyes! Choose sunny hours for a walk around the area, because only then you could also ride pedal boats in the lake.

4. Ecopath "Iskar-Panega"
The walk around the turquoise-green waters of the Panega River is carried out by hanging wooden stairs and platforms for passage attached to the vertical rocks of the Prokhodna Cave. With this walk you will explore a cave and nature at the same time. The cave also hides the so-called the "eyes of God" before which you would hardly be indifferent. Spring is the right time to walk around because you will avoid the annoying mosquitoes that appear in summer.

5. Elbow rocks
Since each of us often has work in the capital, we chose this place, which is no more than an hour away from Sofia. This destination is more than recommended because it offers variety as well as wonderful views of the Iskar gorge, especially in spring. Take a flashlight with you, because it would be a mistake if you don't take a peek into the "Dark Hole" cave. Along the way, you will also see an alpine hut hanging on the rocks, where climbers often climb.
