“North – eastern excitement” – Day Тhree

Table of Contents

  • Tyulenovo village
  • Cape Shabla

Tyulenovo village

We reached the third day of our trip in north – east Bulgaria. The aim we had today was to look at some popular places for their natural beauty. Without wasting time we went to Tyulenovo village. A charming place with an unusual coast. It is unusual because in place of the sand beaches stand incredible cliffs. You can’t not like this place, once you see the various beautiful forms that sea and rocks have created together! What impressed me deeply was that nowhere else I have ever been had I felt such a peaceful atmosphere as I felt in Tulenovo. The place itself predisposes you to perfect harmony with yourself. Many people wonder why is the village called that way (“tulenovo” in Bulgarian means a place where seals are gathering). The truth is that some time ago there was a herd of seals living in caves found in the rocks along the shore. Unfortunately, seals today can not be seen here because the species has disappeared from our coast for various reasons, but the village will always carry the memory of them.

Useful information:
To get to the village Tulenovo you must take the route Varna – Shabla – Durankulak (by E87);
If you’re a fan of diving or extreme sports, this is your paradise.
Nearby settlements: Varna 82 km, 70 km to Dobrich and Shabla 12 km.

Cape Shabla

After the enchanting village Tulenovo we headed to the eastern – most point of Bulgaria, Cape Shabla. Except that this place is located at the east, it has perhaps the most beautiful lighthouse in Bulgaria. Curious fact about this lighthouse is that it is the oldest and highest in the country. It was built and put into operation during the Ottoman Empire in 1857, with a total height of 32 meters. It remains a symbol of the place. Also, the area itself provides a unique view which you can enjoy for hours.

Useful information:
By the lighthouse itself you don’t have access because it is a militarized zone;
Shabla lighthouse can be reached by driving on the main road E87;
Nearby settlements: Varna 80 km, Dobrich 69 km;

As time was passing we needed to set off to the next planned stop. But at this moment we came up with a crazy idea that if we are so north in Bulgaria and close to the border point, why not go to Romania! That’s what we decided to do, and headed to Durankulak border crossing point. After the typical queuing to pass through the border, “we stepped” on Romanian land. We drove to the nearest village on the border – Vama Veche to take a look at it closely and also to see how busy is life in the resorts of our neighbours. Right at the entrance of the village we witnessed a huge stream of Romanian cars whether preparing to stop at the near-by beach or to drive to Bulgaria. We only needed twenty minutes to decide that we have seen enough. We turned around and headed back to our homeland with great joy.

Useful information:
Bulgaria and Romania are EU members, respectively crossing the border from one side or the other is easy and fast;
You do not need the Romanian vignette. Without vignette you can drive as north as the town of Mangalia, included. ATTENTION! Vignettes in Romania are electronic. That is why when buying a vignette you are registered with the registration number of your car;

As it was our last day near the sea we decided to spend the last bit of our seaside adventure on Krapets beach. This beach is one of the northern most but it is special with the fact that it is said to be the last virgin beach standing on the Black Sea coast. Also, the sandy dunes stretch at the modest seven kilometers, being  one of the largest in the country. If you want to feel completely different atmosphere, compared to other resorts, this is the place to visit!

Useful information:
To reach Krapets you must drive towards Durankulak and a few kilometers before the border with our neighbour Romania you will see a sign pointing to the right. This time drive until you reach the old camping;
The area is isolated and is not crowded by sunbathers because of its northern location. A perfect destination for people who love peace and quiet;
Near the beach is Krapets village where you can stay overnight;
Nearby settlements: Shabla 15 km and 82 km Dobrich;

That’s how our adventure long the Black Sea coast ends. Taking with us many unforgettable sunset moments with loved ones and especially the aroma of the sea. But this is not the end! There are still two days to reach the finale of the adventure. So follow me to day four…

At the crossroads of Asia and Europe, little-visit At the crossroads of Asia and Europe, little-visited Armenia is worth getting off the beaten track for. Its long history and culture can be found in almost every part of the country from the many fortresses and churches scattered across the mountains to the local traditional carpet weavers and lacemakers. It can be tasted in its Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine and heard at its many festivals and different performances. That’s why Armenia is simply the perfect destination for many adventures.

Few nations have histories as ancient, complex and Few nations have histories as ancient, complex and laced with tragedy as Armenia. And even fewer have a culture that is as rich and resilient. This is a destination where you will be intrigued by history, awed by monuments, amazed by the landscape and charmed by down-to-earth locals. It’s not an easy place to explore – roads are rough, transport is often hard to navigate and those who don’t speak Armenian or Russian may find communication difficult – but travelling here is as rewarding as it is revelatory.

Icy air sweeps over your face, snow crunches under Icy air sweeps over your face, snow crunches underfoot, and the panorama almost takes your breath away: on one side the view of the Swiss Mittelland towards the Vosges, on the other the Aletsch Glacier, lined with four thousand metre peaks. Standing on the Jungfraujoch 3,454 metres above sea level, you can feel it with your first step: this is a different world. It’s one you have to experience.

Jungfraujoch lies in the heart of the Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn UNESCO World Heritage Site. Snow and ice 100% guaranteed. The Sphinx viewing building, the Ice Palace, the plateau for walks in eternal snow - these are the year-round attractions on the Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe.
