Independent mountain walking holidays in the Eastern Rhodopes

Flexible | independent | spectacular

A mountain walking holiday at Melanya gives our guests a good selection of easy strolls and advanced hikes. The tracks and paths in the mountains offer gentle meandering climbs through ancient villages and forests while more experienced mountain walkers have the option of leaving the beaten track to explore the acres of rugged terrain surrounding the house.

Your day can be as simple as picking a peak and heading for it. Guests with mountaineering or climbing experience will discover a good selection of challenges within walking distance of 'base camp' together with the opportunity to take a trip by Land Rover to higher peaks for some stunning views.

One of the favourable aspects of a mountain walking holiday at Melanya is the intimacy of the Rhodope Mountain range itself. This intimacy is reflected by the vast array of animals, birds and plants that all thrive in this environmental reserve. Walkers who tread lightly will be rewarded with sightings of deer, wild boar and rare birds of prey. Many travel to the Rhodopes for birdwatching holidays in the mountains.
