At 6:00 you meet your guide at your hotel and start the journey on the route Bucharest – Giurgiu – Emen – Veliko Tarnovo. The first part of the day greets us with a relaxing trek through the Emen Canyon. Its vertical walls are 120 meters high, its waterfalls are long and its caves are deep: Emen Cave, at 3.3km, is the deepest in Bulgaria. In the canyon we follow a 3km trail comprised of wooden bridges suspended above the river that formed it – a real adrenaline rush!

We spend the rest of the day in Veliko Tarnovo, an architectural jewel endowed with numerous spots overlooking the town and its surroundings. We visit the Tsaravets Citadel, learn the history of the country and we enjoy a traditional meal at Hadji Nikoli Inn, a bohemian summer garden isolated from the swerve of the city.
