Planned Activities

Our guests often feel they would like to stay longer to explore the local area and relax a little before returning home.  So we have put together a diverse and interesting  activities week as an optional extension to the Regenerative Landscape Design Course, or as a holiday in its own right,  to make the most of the local area.

We'll start the week with a trip to the Koprinka lake for a swim or just time to relax  while admiring the beautiful mountain backdrop.  Throughout the week time will be devoted to exploring more of the local botany and natural history with various field trips and identification sessions.  We'll have the opportunity to visit another local project, Waste No More, and learn about effective microorganisms and their many uses.  

Beautiful hiking trails start from Shipka, including one to the Buzludja monument.  It's an impressive ex-communist monument now turned into a graffiti artist mecca built on one of the mountain peaks - and a great close to the week with a spectacular  view of the Valley of the Roses and the Thracian Kings. (See Below for the day to day schedule).
​
It's up to you how much you get involved in the day to day activities - there is absolutely no pressure to attend all the sessions or days if you'd prefer.
