Bulgarien war aufgrund seiner Grenzen zu Jugoslawien, Griechenland und der Türkei von einem besonders langen Eisernen Vorhang umgeben.

Die Route von EuroVelo 13 führt durch mehrere verschiedene Regionen und mehr als eine Gebirgskette. Radfahrerinnen und Radfahrer können mit der Erkundung des bulgarischen Abschnitts an der Grenze zu Serbien beginnen und zunächst das Balkangebirge durchqueren. Auf dem Weg nach Süden führt die Route dann zu den Bergen Rila, Pirin und Rhopodes sowie zu den Grenzen mit Nordmakedonien und Griechenland. Nach dem Verlassen des Balkangebirges führt die Route durch die thrakische Tiefebene in Griechenland und der Türkei, bevor sie schließlich an der bulgarischen Schwarzmeerküste endet.

Development status
  • Certified These sections were awarded the official EuroVelo Certification label, ensuring high-quality cycling conditions.They were surveyed in the field by EuroVelo Route Inspectors to respect minimum requirements for motorised traffic levels, surface quality, EuroVelo signage, and access to services as defined by the European Certification Standard (ECS) methodology. EuroVelo Certified routes are the best options for beginners!
  • Developed + Signed These sections offer generally good cycling conditions, with limited motorised traffic, rideable surfaces, and EuroVelo signs along the route. Developed routes with signs are suitable for most cyclists. However, short stretches with lower-quality conditions may occur, and it is recommended to bring a map or navigation app as signs can have defects.
  • Developed + Not Signed These sections offer generally good cycling conditions, with limited motorised traffic and rideable surfaces, but without EuroVelo signs. Developed routes without signs are suitable for most cyclists. However, short stretches with lower-quality conditions may occur, and it is warmly recommended to bring a map or navigation app.
  • Partially Developed + Signed Cycling is possible here, but conditions vary. Some stretches may have high motorised traffic or poor surfaces, even though EuroVelo signs are in place. Partially developed routes with signs are suitable for experienced cyclists only, and it is recommended to bring a map or navigation app and check national/regional websites for more information. ECF and National EuroVelo Coordination Centres are working on improvements.

  • Undeveloped / Unknown These sections do not meet minimum requirements for motorised traffic levels or surface quality – or their conditions are currently unknown. They may include dangerous stretches. Cyclists choosing to cycle there should use a map or navigation app and check national/regional websites for more information. It is recommended to use public transport to skip these areas where possible.
  • Public transport link These sections include continuity across seas or rivers and undeveloped parts of the network that can be skipped with a reliable public transport connection allowing bicycle transport.
