The Red Rock – A Breath-taking Adventure
Our journey begins at the bike station on Studenets, the gateway to numerous scenic routes. We head south towards Prevala, following the familiar cross-country skiing trail that meanders through a mixed forest of towering pines and vibrant broadleaf trees.
From Prevala, the route continues with a short descent, and then takes us along a charming forest path. After a gentle climb, we reach the ridge of the Red Rock. From here, a long, smooth descent unfolds, offering awe-inspiring panoramic views of the Rhodopes. For those eager to get closer to the rock itself, there’s an optional 40-minute hike – a rewarding experience well worth the effort.
Next, we enjoy a lengthy descent towards the Smolyan Lakes, passing by Osman’s Pond (Osmanov Göl) – a hidden gem where time seems to stand still. The path then gently winds down through the forest, leading us towards the town of Smolyan. Our adventure concludes at the Gazprom gas station, where a shuttle awaits to take us back to the starting point, allowing us to rest and recharge for the next Rhodope adventure.
This route is designed for mountain biking enthusiasts, seamlessly blending the stunning beauty of the Rhodopes with the thrill of exploration and movement.
