Mountain biking, fishing, walking and kayaking at Melanya
Mountain bike holidays at Melanya offer a wealth of challenges from easy going mountain tracks to rugged goat trails and 'off road' challenges. Bikes are available for our guests, however serious enthusiasts should consider bringing their own cycle.
The river Arda is home to some fair size Chub and Barbel with immense strength and speed. Stick float works well in the faster rocky runs while waggler and feeders come into their own where the river slows to meet the reservoir. The Kardzhali Reservoir holds some legendary Perch and has been stocked with thousands of Carp.
It doesn't take long to hitch up the rowing boat, strap on the kayaks and get to the river or lake. Soak up the sun while drifting slowly in the rowing boat or head upstream to the more challenging water in the kayaks.
Walking opportunities at Melanya are vast. Our mountain walking holidays offer something for everyone with a good selection of easy strolls, distance hikes and local rambles. Independent walking holidays at Melanya deliver peace and tranquility.
