Great guides, great motorbikes, great landscapes an trails, everything was perfect!
We lived a great Enduro Holiday – already our second experience in Bulgaria. Driving through its wilderness, mountains and open plains gave us a memorable impression – so we came back. We drove over mule tracks, through canyons, crossed small rivers and went up to 2600 m high and all this on paths that suits to the possibilities and ability of everyone, from the easy paths to the most demanding ones. SportCamps supplied us great bikes and took care of everything – we just had to ride and enjoy …. worry free vacation!
Fun, Fun, Fun!
