#24 | Bulgaria

I start the day from Gabrovo, where I slept, and I quickly go to the town of Sevlevo, where the suppliers of the ITV tires are waiting for me to make a change of wheels and the corresponding revisions, for the maintenance. I met Metodio, mechanic of the Bobi MX company, who helped me a lot. He is a great professional and a great person.

When we disassembled the quad to place the parts, we noticed the stones and branches that I had taken from the mountain route in the previous days. The ITP tires are impressive as they hold up very well and have a grip on any medium.

After I finished the maintenance and the tire change of the quad, I started the route towards the interior of Bulgaria, passing through dense forests, mountains and visiting the Sokolski Monastery.

After I had covered a large part of the mountain and passed through quite a lot of roads, I found the communist remains of Bulgaria: the monuments of the torches that gave way to the big one: The Buzludzha Monument. Was built by the Bulgarian communist government and inaugurated in 1981. It commemorates the events of 1891, when in the group of socialists referred to Dimitar Blagoev secretly resembles in the area to form a socialist movement organization.

When I finished exploring the area, it was already late, and I decided to look for a place to sleep in the surrounding towns. On my way, I found the Nativity Shipka Memorial Church, a really impressive construction that takes care of every detail.

Finally I arrived in Kazanluk, it was still daylight and I could have dinner on a small terrace while the sun was setting. A city of about 47,000 inhabitants, quiet. Tomorrow I will cross the border and enter Turkey.
