What are the most spectacular roads in Bulgaria?

Tucked away in the crossroads of Europe and Asia, on the eastern part of the Balkan Peninsula, Bulgaria is home to wonderful driving experiences. If you’re travelling to the country, remember to drive the scary road to Devil’s Throat Cave, an entrance to the underworld, through Trigrad Gorge. When driving through the Smolyan Province, oncoming traffic can be a nightmare. A similar road, in terms of beauty and road conditions, is the road through Buynovo Gorge, a Bulgarian cliff road. Don’t forget, in Bulgaria, every road is more than just a stretch of tarmac. It's a passage through time, nature, and legends.

The landscape of the country is diverse, featuring plains, plateaus, and mountains. So, if you prefer mountain roads, Botev Peak is the highest road of the Balkan Mountains. It’s a mountain peak at 2,376m (7,795ft) above sea level, on the boundary between Lovec and Plovdiv provinces. It’s one of the highest roads in Bulgaria.
