A sequioa forest in Bulgaria - definitely worth the visit. A lovely walk! A small forest of still young, but already mighty trees. You have a nice feeling of peace when you are under their canopies. Магично местенце, очаквах, че са повече и има екопътека за разходка , но не я открихме. Exploring the Old Sequoia Trees Park near Kyustendil was nothing short of a fairy tale journey. These magnificent sequoia trees, originally brought from Sierra Nevada, California, by a sailor and entrusted to Yordan Mitrev, were planted just after Bulgaria's liberation from Turkish rule over 130 years ago. This historical context adds a profound layer of significance to the park. Walking amidst these towering giants, I couldn't help but be enchanted by their grandeur and the rich history they symbolize. The fact that they were planted shortly after Bulgaria's liberation from Turkish slavery serves as a poignant reminder of the nation's enduring spirit and the remarkable connection between nature and its historical journey. A visit to this park is a captivating experience that transports you to a time when these seeds of hope were sown, and nature's beauty was preserved for generations to come. An absolutely stunning place! I would highly recommend visiting if you are nearby Kyustendil. If you are visiting from Sofia mind that the walk around the sequoias is not very big as you drive very close to them(5-10)min walking distance so if you expect a hike or something like this I would suggest going to the Hisarlaka which is a bit below on the mountain, so you can do it after or before. Another suggestion would be to visit the Villas above Bogoslov village, just drive up the mountain and you will end up at villas all around with a beautiful scenery and some offer a great home made tea. Magical place. Very quiet, calming and beautiful. Awesome place to have a small picnic😃 *Me as a size reference on the photo😉 Interesting short and easy walk through the forest, with the sequoia trees at the center. The smell in the air is amazing and refreshing. It's possible to continue the walk through the forest but it becomes more down and uphill. Hope people can keep enjoying this special place without harming the trees and taking their garbage with them. Old magnificent sequoias. Nice place to visit if passing nearby. Such a magical place… The three oldest trees stand in the middle, surrounded by a small forest made by the younger ones. Peaceful, quiet and energizing. You can combine it with a walk to Hisarlaka fortress. Really easy to find. Its worth a stop on the way up the mountain. Its not a daytrip. Прекрасно място, чист въздух и спокойствие Баш лепо место, на 10 минута од Ћустендила, идеално за бег од врућине! Magnificent corner of nature. Must visit. Истинска красота. Заслужава си да се пътува до там. Историята на секвоите е интересна и завладяваща. През 1890 г. лесовъдът Йордан Митрев засажда първите три секвои в района на Ючбунар, като семената са донесени от негов приятел моряк, който ги е получил от Америка. Тези три дървета са високи над 30 метра и имат впечатляващи обиколки: 9 метра, 8,20 метра и 3,90 метра. По-късно, около тези гиганти, се самозасаждат още около 100 по-млади секвои, създавайки уникална гора от този вид в България. Малка информация която намерих в интернет.
