Since 2014 we organize a 680 km cycling adventure event – along the Danube River to the Black Sea in Bulgaria. Our Dunav Ultra Cycling Challenge is one of the most attractive events for amateur cyclists on the Balkans. The event’s main goal is successfully to cover the Dunav Ultra Cycle Route on a bicycle – individually or in a team.
Our cause is to popularize the Danube region in Bulgaria via the Dunav Ultra cycling itinerary. Although the Danube subsequently passes 10 countries it is only at the Balkans that the river pristine nature shines through. On account of its numerous cultural, historical and natural attractions, the region and the bicycle route acts as a magnet for bike travelers all over the world.
The two friends and velo enthusiasts Svetoslav Andreev and Daniel Donev are amateur cyclists from the Bulgarian city of Varna.

The challenge took place on the bicycle route along the Danube River in Bulgaria with the same name – Dunav Ultra.
