Distance and timing basis

The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.

Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.

Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

Waypoint introductions and full write-ups

  1. 1. Varna

    Varna is Bulgaria's summer capital, a big, confident Black Sea city of three hundred thousand with a long beach, a grand seaside garden and a surprisingly deep past. In 1972, workers digging near the shore found a cemetery that has since become famous, the Varna Necropolis, which contained some of the oldest worked gold ever found, made around 4500 BC, long before the pharaohs. The treasures, which include tiny gold ornaments buried with the dead, are in the city's archaeological museum, and they show that a sophisticated society lived here thousands of years before Rome or Athens.

    Planning note

    Varna sits at 0 km, early in the day. Next is Burgas.

  2. 2. Burgas

    Burgas is the working heart of Bulgaria's southern Black Sea coast, a port city that has never quite decided whether it is industrial or seaside, and the answer is a little of both. The long Sea Garden, laid out in the late nineteenth century, runs along the cliff above the beach and is lined with statues, flowerbeds and cafes, and the pier at the end juts out into the bay like an invitation. The old railway station, with its fine early twentieth-century frontage, is a reminder of the city's role as a trading hub.
