'Walking in Bulgaria's National Parks' by Julian Perry 
Written by Balkan Trek's managing director Julian Perry, 'Walking in Bulgaria's National Parks' is the most authoritative and informative guide to walking and wildlife watching in Bulgaria's three national parks. The 12 routes described in 'Walking in Bulgaria's National Parks' thread their way through the 'Central Balkan' National Park, 'Rila' National Park and 'Pirin' National Park, taking in ancient forests, shimmering glacial lakes, panoramic ridges and the two highest peaks in the country, Musala and Vihren. All great mountain walks in their own right, they have also been selected to offer the best chance of encountering a wealth of rare plants and animals. 'Walking in Bulgaria's National Parks' offers 2- to 3-day walks for fit and experienced mountain walkers and one full-day ascent of Mount Vihren with comprehensive background information about the wildlife to be seen. As well as providing detailed route descriptions for many of the most outstanding walks offered by these three national parks, the book also includes comprehensive details of the wildlife likely to be seen. |

'The Mountains of Bulgaria: A Walker's Companion' by Julian Perry 
The first English-language walking guide to Bulgaria's mountains, 'The Mountains of Bulgaria: A Walker's Companion' was Julian Perry's pioneering guide to some of the most challenging and spectacular long-distance hiking trails through seven of Bulgaria's main mountain ranges. 'The Mountains of Bulgaria' not only describes Bulgaria's most famous and most classic long-distance trail between Mt. Kom on the Serbian border and Cape Emine on the Black Sea coast, but also describes the four sections of the the wonderful 'E4' European Ramblers' Trail through the Vitosha, Verila, Rila and Pirin Mountains. The book supplements route descriptions with general background information on topography, geology, climate, flora, fauna and history. |
