One of the best things to do in Sofia Bulgaria is to visit the outdoor adventureland. For our first full day in Sofia, Bulgaria, our 50th country, we needed a little adventure! We reached out to REFLIP to explore more of Bulgaria’s wild side and get a taste of the awesome outdoor adventure that lies in the Struma River Gorge.
Best Things to Do in Sofia Bulgaria | Outdoor Adventureland
On weekends, the people of Sofia flee the city and spend their days enjoying the country’s vast wilderness. Can we be honest? We really had no idea what Bulgaria looked like. Once we arrived, we were totally blown away.
Mountains, rivers, and canyons paint the backdrop to a country that may wish to continue to stay on the down-low. However, once travelers start realizing all the beauty and outdoor activities that Bulgaria has to offer, mass tourism is going to take off big time!

Rafting in Bulgaria | Rafting & Kayak Club Reflip
REFLIP specializes in rafting and kayaking. They also have opportunities for zip-lining and canyoning. Also, their rafting season starts in April and runs through July when the river is at it’s deepest levels for the most optimal ride. Finally, the tour lasts for about 3 hours and the rafting center is located about 2 hours outside of Sofia. After 15 years on the river, they know their stuff!

Felt like I was there with you, took my breath away!,????
Scary, right?!
I am reading this after several days of hiking in some of Bulgaria’s beautiful forests in Belogradchik and near Rila, Sapareva Banya, and Beli Iskar. Bulgaria has an embarrassment of riches in natural beauty and I’m always torn between hoping the country gets the attention it deserves and being glad not to see it overrun by tourists.
We can appreciate your sentiments! Bulgaria is beautiful and truly a hidden gem. We would love to hear more about your hiking adventures. Did you camp?
No, I’m sorry to report that having camped excessively as a child, I feel very done with camping. But many do here and enjoy it thoroughly.
That’s great to hear because we aren’t campers either!
You inspire us!!!
Thank you! When do you guys leave for your adventure?!
We are 18 months out! 6 months until our “Year of Lasts” begins!!!
18 months and counting!
Whoo-hoo! Sometimes the countdown and anticipation of it all is just as exciting!
Oh my gosh you guys that looks amazing! Guess I’m going to have to flag this country. …and this company as a must visit location in the future! It looked absolutely beautiful! Also congrats to your 50th country (WOW!) and awesome job audrey on that scary jump! 😀
I think you’d love it! More to come!
