Bulgaria is the highest land on the Balkans, bordering with the Danube River to the north and the beautiful Black Sea coast to the east. It is the homeland of Orpheus and Spartacus and the treasure-house of early Slavic scripts. It is also one of the most exciting birding destinations in Europe. Located at the crossroads between the North and the South, the East and the West, it provides indeed the longest checklist of species for any European tour.
