BULGARIA ~ Rhodope Mountains ~

... Lovely Spring view...  known as the homeland of the mythical singer and poet Orpheus who according to the legend was born and lived here.... called  the "green heart of Europe" for their vast pinewoods, probably the largest in the Balkans...  the best place in Bulgaria for walking vacations... Thanks a lot Mariyana!!【ツ】
