An adventure in Strandzha planina and its beautiful springs, dams and villages. There are plenty of amazing places, a little bit off the main roads and the big cities that are waiting for you to discover them. Keep exploring :)

My trip happened by chance. I was at home in Bourgas and wanted to go somewhere close for a walk. I didn't wanted to be some popular place, but something that I haven't seen yet.
Opened the map and told myself:
- "Hey, which name looks interesting to you? Or some place that attracts your attention?". At first sight I liked some places near the Bourgas' lakes , but they didn't attract me tot hem. After a short time I saw the Yasna polyana reservoir and thought that is very tempting place. I am a sea's child and I love the water, I love that beautiful blue.

I went there without a clear goal and expectations - I had not even seen pictures of the place. I only looked at the map to see what I would drive through and I saw the village of Novo Panicharevo. I decided to look at it on the spot and if I liked it I would stop for a walk through.

It happened just as I expected and I went to the village of Novo Panicharevo and decided to go through to see what interesting I could find there - I reached the middle of the village and saw a small detail of a bridge over the river. I told myself this is it and stopped for a walk. The village welcomed me with an open embrace. Several people from the village saw me walking and took me back in time with the question:
- "Boy, whose child are you?".
I replied that I was not from the village, but I had come for a walk and I was received very warmly. They told me interesting stories from the past of the village and directed me to the most interesting places that I must see.

And so it happened that from a short detour on the road it turned out that I spent almost the whole day in this village - walking, taking pictures, eating ice cream from the shop in the center, climbed to the highest point to look around and it was great .

However, in the afternoon I managed to reach the Yasna Polyana dam, which was my initial goal. As the time has passed so fast, I decided to skip the walks around the village and headed directly to the dam. A long dirt road led me in until I reached a no-go sign. I went back and tried another road, but again no. I found myself just below the dam wall in a place that looked like an abandoned mine. And the wall looked extremely impressive.

Since I had traveled a lot to see the dam, I decided not to give up. I parked the car and got the drone in the air to at least look through his eyes at the dam. I lifted it smoothly over the dam wall and this incredible beauty was revealed to me. Great little path along the dam wall and a huge water infinity.

What a day it was... From a boring morning without a plan laying on the couch, I found myself in these great places that were just waiting to be found. My day was filled with happiness and incredible memories, and a tired big smile shone on my face.

Strandja. Amazing Strandja!
