You don't have to be a professional to join us!! We like things to be created organically!
We like to do things the way they were done in the past, to keep the natural beauty and history of the mountain villages alive!
Our Eco Centre in The Stara Planina Mountains offers fun experiences and activities for humans of all ages and walks of life. We like to encourage people to connect with the natural world while also having a positive impact on the environment and the landscape.🌿
If you are a happy team player who would like to volunteer for an adventure in the Bulgurka Natural Park🌳in return for a bed, meals and a beer at the end of the day then send us a message we promise to get back to you!🌿
