British newspaper Guardian included unconventional shepherd-guided tour in Bulgaria’s Stara Planina mountain region in an article that presents exotic and unusual vacation opportunities. The article presents some of the least famous tourism places in Europe. One of the suggestions is a trip involving ancient shepherd routes. Tourists will be able to join a seven-day winter tour, presenting the migration of nearly 400 sheep from their high mountain pastures to their winter shelter located in the vicinities of Kotel in Stara Planina mountain region. The shepherd-guided tour will be held from the 2d of October until 9th of October 2010. The trip finishes with a festival.The Guardian’s article also presents other tourist destinations such as Ukraine, Belarus and Slovenia.

The unconventional shepherd-guided tour proves the statement that Bulgarian rural tourism is popular in Great Britain. Some time ago another British newspaper, Times, included a mountain villa in Bulgaria’s town of Gabrovo in the ranking ‘Unusual places for your holiday in Europe.’ The villa, overlooking Botev peak, comes 11th of 31 summer suggestions for a vacation in Europe. Many rural sports in Bulgaria’s countryside and well-equipped guesthouses are among exotic preferences of Brits for a holiday. The article reads: ‘Bulgaria’s countryside has not been among the most favourite holiday destinations for foreign tourists, however, the situation will change’. ‘The town of Gabrovo, located only 100 km from Bulgaria’s capital city, has sheltered a unique rural house that is constructed directly on the rocks. At first glance it seems ordinary one, but the moment you look at it or go there, you realize how unique it is. Venerable rocks and the majestic Botev Peak reinforce the picturesque scenery.’, described in detail the impressed author.
