Camping
You don't even have to bring you own tent if you want to reduce your luggage!
We can provide you with 2 and 3 man tents, camping beds, sleeping bags, pillows, mains power (for camper vans outside the property) etc. during your stay camping in the grounds or on the perimeter of our small farm......or you can bunk up with the pigs, off site. (only joking, they are very fussy :)
Local transport is very reliable and we have two small general stores and a bar in the village 200 yards from the house.
You still get the full use of all the facilities on the property including shower, BBQ/patio area and garden.
Please note: we are very compact and cannot cater for caravans on the property, only 2 camper vans only.
Prices per person per night: 10 Leva. Booking is Essential!
Our 'own' large lake is a short walk from our farm and is teeming with a variety of fish.
We can provide you the appropriate Bulgarian license (4 rods per person) prior to your arrival.
You can stay in our farmhouse and fish in any of the lakes close by and if you want to fish overnight we can provide you with everything you need to camp including hurricane lamps, ice boxes, large camping stove and even bring you Breakfast in the morning!!
Prices per person on enquiry.
The Arda River flows into two lakes at Kardjali.
One one is around 24 km long and up to 2 km wide the other 32 km long and not quite as deep.
These lakes are 30-40 years old and have never experienced modern carp fishing techniques!
45,000 carp were introduced into the dam in the 1980s.
It is also stocked with Sheatfish, (some specimens of 100 kg have been caught!) and Zander.
Studen Kladenets is the other dam on the River Arda, at Kardjali one of the biggest dams in the country containing rudd and roach.
There is excellent trout fishing on the Arda, mountain streams and lakes, along with pike, carp and bream, to name but a few.
Most of these fish are over 2kg and can be eaten or returned to the water.
There are lots of other small fish species that can be caught for fun or food.
Please Note: Fishing during the month of May is forbidden for all sweet water fish due to spawning.
Salmon fishing in the mountains from October to December is also forbidden.
