Ready to see "why" you should go to the "Bulgaria-Romania" Rose Festival with The Wild Chronicles?
*** Bulgaria, a small country in Eastern Europe ***
Bulgaria is a small country in Eastern Europe, influenced by the Greeks, Romans, Western Europe, Slavs, Turks and Central Asia, all blended into a distinctive culture.
Here the soil and water are good, so agriculture flourishes and there are many famous products, such as yogurt. But did you know that this fertile area is also home to a land called the "Rose Valley"?
For this reason Bulgaria began using "roses" to make "perfume" more than a thousand years ago, and today Bulgaria has become one of the world's top producers and exporters of rose oil.
** The Rose Festival (Rose Festival 2025) ***
Now to the highlight of our tour, the "Rose Festival", held just once a year! The festival has been held continuously and is now in its 122nd year.
Everyone will pick roses in the middle of the valley and shop for rose products to their heart's content!
*** A stop in "Romania" ***
On the same trip we will stop in "Romania", taking you to see the beauty of "Peleș Castle", a magnificent castle set amid pine forest in the Bucegi valley in the Carpathian Mountains. It is known as the most beautiful castle in Romania and one of the most outstanding castles in Europe.
*** Visit the home of Count Dracula ***
We take you to the home of Count Dracula at "Bran Castle", originally a fortress built by a group of German knights returning from the Crusades, later destroyed by the Mongol army, and restored to its beauty again on the order of King Louis I of Hungary.
Bran Castle is famous because "Bram Stoker", author of the novel Dracula, is believed to have used Bran Castle as the model for Count Dracula's castle.
*** The beauty of Sofia ***
In the heart of Sofia stands the "Alexander Nevsky Cathedral", an important symbol of Orthodox Christianity. This magnificent cathedral stands out for its Neo-Byzantine architecture and was built in honor of the Russian soldiers who died fighting to free Bulgaria from Ottoman rule, which led to Bulgarian independence.
*** Bulgaria's Orthodox monasteries ***
Stop at the "Rila Monastery", the largest and most famous Eastern Orthodox monastery in Bulgaria, regarded as one of Bulgaria's cultural and historical monuments, with UNESCO World Heritage status.
