Golden Sands Nature Park, Protected nature park near Golden Sands Resort, Bulgaria.
Golden Sands Nature Park is a protected forest area along Bulgaria's Black Sea coast with marked trails winding through mixed woodlands. The terrain rises across rolling hills and features a mix of deciduous trees adapted to the coastal region.
The area developed from a former state-managed forest and gained protected status in 1943 as one of Bulgaria's earliest nature parks. This designation marked an early step in the country's conservation efforts.
The park's network of marked tourist paths includes four color-coded routes and five specialist trails that accommodate different outdoor recreation preferences.
The park has several marked routes you can walk at your own pace depending on how much time you have. Good walking shoes and water are helpful since the paths wind through forest terrain with some elevation change.
Some trees in the park are over 100 years old, with rare specimens of fig and sycamore trees scattered through the forest. Walking among these ancient trees gives a sense of how the forest has endured over decades.
