Zipline in Bulgaria, about 90 minutes south of Sofia: clip in, step off and fly 100 metres over the Struma river. Before the zipline comes a rope garden on two levels, a warm-up about a metre off the ground and then the high level at around 5 metres, 24 elements in all, with bridges, nets and beams. You need no experience, a safety briefing comes first, and it costs €20 per person with all the gear, from one person. Real people on WhatsApp book it, send you the meeting point and can drive you there, and the zipline fits easily into the same day as rafting or canyoning.

The zipline is about 100 metres long and starts from the bridge above the Struma river. You hang in a harness, the pulley does the work, and for around a minute there is nothing below you but water and rock. It is the last thing you do, after the rope garden, so you finish on a high.
Level 1 sits about a metre off the ground, a warm-up to get used to the harness and the balance, although a few of its elements are harder than they look. Level 2 is around 5 metres up, with 24 elements of different difficulty, from wobbly bridges to nets and beams. It is a proper workout, so wear comfortable clothes and shoes, and bring gloves if you like.
Rafting on the Struma (€40) and canyoning on the Vlahi river (€45) start from the same base, so you can do the river in the morning and the zipline in the afternoon. It also works after rafting and canyoning at Kazanite (€55). The rope garden and zipline are €20 on top, and on a day like this a transfer from Sofia is worth it. Near the base there is also paintball, air rifle and bow shooting, and a short walk up to the chapel of St Mina, with a view over the river and the start of the Kresna Gorge. Tell us what you fancy and we plan the day.
The rope garden and zipline are at a rafting base on the Struma river in the Kresna Gorge, about 90 minutes south of Sofia. You can drive and park at the base, or we pick you up from your hotel in Sofia and bring you back: the price is for the whole car or van, there and back, paid in cash to the driver. For a €20 activity the transfer makes most sense when you add rafting or canyoning on the same day. We send the exact meeting point when we confirm. Rila Monastery is about an hour away, and Bansko and Melnik are close too.
Rope garden and 100 m zipline over the Struma, €20 per person, from one person. Pick a date and tell us how many of you are coming. Checking a date is free.
