About Bulgarian Hiking Club

Bulgarian Hiking Club is a bilingual guide to the Bulgarian mountains for anyone planning a hike, whether you are visiting or live here: a map that keeps working offline, and practical guidance checked against official sources.

How content is checked and dated

Safety information — emergency numbers, rescue costs, camping and fire rules — is checked against the official source and linked where it appears. Guides show the date they were last reviewed.

Season advice comes from one season grid for the ten main hiking ranges. The month pages and the best-time page are built from that grid rather than written separately, so they cannot contradict each other.
