Ecotourism in Bulgaria. Housing next to nature reserves and eco-trails

Bulgaria is not only the Black Sea coast, beach holidays and water entertainment. For many, the country has become a symbol of superb ecology and unique nature. Hundreds of ecological routes make it possible to get acquainted with the amazing flora and fauna and to enjoy clean air. Beauty, the opportunity to breathe deeply, to prevent the development of respiratory diseases and to get rid of existing ones — these are just a few of the reasons why many foreigners strive to buy property in Bulgaria.

Advantages of the environmentally clean regions of Bulgaria

In every country there are places where the air feels especially fresh. There is no industry here and no harmful emissions. The mountains, forests and bodies of water are clean. Many are situated on the territory of nature parks or nearby. Restrictions on construction and on the opening of factories apply here, which makes it possible to preserve the fragile ecological balance.

In Bulgaria, such regions are scattered throughout the whole country. They are especially popular with pensioners from Israel, Russia, Ukraine, the United Kingdom and other European countries. People come to small towns and villages in the Burgas, Varna, Veliko Tarnovo and Blagoevgrad regions and buy houses and apartments. Their relatives and friends follow them.

What makes foreigners acquire property in areas with eco-routes? There are several factors:

• Clean air and beautiful nature. It is a delight to get up in the morning and admire the beauty of waterfalls, mountain peaks and forests.
• The opportunity to develop a business. Many of those who live near eco-trails buy or build guest houses, restaurants and taverns, offer guide services and organise ecological tours.
• The opportunity to buy and grow clean produce independently for themselves, their relatives and for sale. Vegetables and fruit grown without chemicals, freshly picked from the beds and trees, are a source of health and longevity.

When buying property in the immediate vicinity of eco-routes, it is advisable to check whether there are any restrictions on residential construction or reconstruction.
