More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The Struma pushes and coaxes you forward as foam and sunlight trade places on the river’s surface. You clip into a harness, step onto a rickety timber platform and the valley lets out a low, warm breath before the zipline pulls you out over pine-stippled slopes. This multisport day stitches high-adrenaline river runs with an aerial playground and a ropes course that tests balance and nerve.
