Bulgaria Inside

Birdwatching is gaining increasing popularity as a hobby. Bulgaria has not developed fully opportunities for this type of tourism. Yet, the country features many bird species and offers good birdwatching conditions.

Bulgaria’s nature is still unspoiled, giving many bird types the chance to nest in the region. Nearly half of all species typical for Europe can be seen in the country. Some other types of birds typically live in a desert climate, while others can only be observed in northern regions.

Many Bulgarians and foreigners are discovering the charms of birdwatching. Leaving birds undisturbed is one of the most important conditions during the activity. Birdwatching equipment includes binoculars and photo cameras.

The activity is suitable for all age types. It can be used to educate children and to make them understand and love nature.

Birdwatching can be combined with other tourism activities like hiking. Some types of birds can only be observed in distant, hardly accessible areas. Several tourism agencies in the country organize trips that offer good birdwatching conditions.

The Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds (BSPB) can provide you will all the information needed in case you plan to go birdwatching. You can learn more about the best places and the types of birds that can be seen there.
