Dunav Ultra is the longest cycle route in Bulgaria. It runs for total of 740 km (459 miles) covering the distance close to the Northern border of the country – along the banks of the Danube river (Dunav, in Bulgarian) to the Black Sea. The starting point of the itinerary is the northwestern-most corner of Bulgaria, namely the village of Kudelin and the end point is the most northeastern point of the country the village of Durankulak.
The Dunav Ultra Cycle Route passes through/near 107 modern-day settlements in Northern Bulgaria, including the Danube towns: Vidin, Lom, Kozloduy, Oryahovo, Belene, Svishtov, Ruse, Tutrakan and Silistra. More than 500 km the Dunav Ulta route overlaps the Eurovelo 6 transcontinental cycle route.
Since the year 2014, we have been organizing a 680 km long bicycle challenge event. It goes 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 goal is to successfully experience and cover the Dunav Ultra route as a solo participant or in a team.
