In the middle of summer, what could be better than a scenic kayak trip along a creek near the sea? Dyavolska river is located in Southeastern Bulgaria, Primorsko municipality, and flows into Dyavolska Bay on the Black Sea. It is about this place that there are myths and legends about dragons, vampires, and supernatural beings that appeared to shepherds and local people in the forest in the most bizarre forms. However, the fact is undeniable that there is a very strong energy here, which is at its peak during the summer solstice. According to belief, wishes come true at sunrise. We hope it sounds interesting to you.

Day 1
We gather in the morning around 9:30 in Primorsko at the starting point. We will meet each other and head to our starting point to enter the kayaks. There we will conduct Training and Instruction on proper paddling, handling, and behavior in the kayak. We have plenty of time to walk a large part of the mysterious Devil's River, and we hope it will share some of its secrets with us. Its calm waters are a great place to relax. We will paddle a few hours upstream, enjoying the wonderful greenery of the surrounding forest.
We find a suitable place to hang out and indulge in a well-deserved rest. So, engrossed in stories and enjoying the newly acquired kayaking skills, we head back to Devil's Bay, where our kayaking trip ends. The tiredness in the hands and the smiles on the faces will long bring back memories of those wonderful moments of water sports and the first experience in kayaks.

Two days in western Rhodope mountain

  Wild camping (option)

Day 1
We leave together with organized transport or meet at a previously specified point, around the dam lake. If necessary, we can recommend or organize an overnight stay in the area to facilitate logistics before the tour. Before noon on the appointed day, we go to the Rhodope Mountains. Without wasting time we gather the group and as expected organize a short safety briefing. The kayaks are already on the shore of the reservoir. The day is planned for a tour of the dam, which is far from being among the largest reservoirs in Bulgaria, but if we try to get the most out of it, we need almost the whole day. The scenery is stunning. In calm weather, the water is like a mirror, reflecting the dark green pine forests and the cotton clouds above. The plan is to do a full-day walk with short breaks on one of the hard-to-reach islets. In the evening, after going out, we will organize a bivouac around the dam, where we will camp or stay in one of the guest houses in the area.

Day 2
Optional we could include some other adventure tours nearby. There are available kayaking tours, canyoning adventures, or sightseeing day treks.

Day 1

Our meeting is between 9 and 10 am in Veliko Tarnovo. We will meet and together we will go to the starting point on the bank of the Alexander Stamboliyski dam. As usual, we will prepare the equipment and do training for beginners. We will spread out among the boats and load everything we need for the next few hours. Then we "jump" into the kayaks and set sail on the clear waters of the dam. After only fifteen minutes we are already in the widest part to enjoy the peace and quiet. Just below us is the land of the former village of Bara, whose inhabitants were evicted in 1952. for the dam to be built. We go to the narrower part, where the dam passes through a rocky gorge. There we will stop and take pictures under the exposed rocks. After a few more bends, the dam narrows, and our rowing continues upstream of the Rositsa River, where all around the dam is overgrown with lush deciduous forest. We will find a suitable place to hang out for a rest and an afternoon snack. When we have rested well and are recharged with new forces, we will take back to the beginning, where the transport is waiting for us.
In the area of the Mladen village, Sevlievo Municipality, on the right bank of the lake, you can find facilities for recreation and water sports.“Alexander Stamboliyski” allows for short or long stays and provides excellent opportunities for fishing. Keen fishers can expect to find carp, perch, catfish, and pike. And if you’re into water sports, here you can enjoy some paddling and sailing, windsurfing, and water skiing.
All facilities and guest homes have water and electricity supplies, but you should bring your own food or dine in the nearest villages or towns. In the distance you can see the cranes of the harbor, the shore is covered with a rush and hundreds of seagulls hover over the boats. This accessible and wild place gives us the chance to escape from the dynamics and enter the water serenity, within 10 minutes away from the city.
