Nature trail
Ecopath Kaleto
A popular green trail near Obzor that pairs a seaside stay with the cooler forest edge of Stara Planina.
Highlights
- Wooden bridges, clear streams and a side path to a mountain waterfall.
- Rest stops around Ayazmoto, Bear's Fountain and Parvomayska Polyana.
- A smooth transition from the seaside town to the shade of Stara Planina.
Why go
Ecopath Kaleto is one of the easiest ways to see Obzor beyond the beach. The route is roughly 2.2 km and starts near the northwestern edge of town, quickly trading coastal sun for greenery, shade and running water.
What to expect
The route passes through the Gabara area, where views open toward the town and sea, before dropping into denser shade. Recognized stops include Ayazmoto, Bear's Fountain and Parvomayska Polyana, a larger meadow with benches, swings and picnic spots. A short branch near the meadow leads toward a mountain waterfall. The trail itself continues uphill to the sparse remains of the medieval Kaleto (Kozyak) fortress at the top of the hill.
Good to know
Wear proper walking shoes and bring water, especially in summer. After rain, parts of the route can be slippery, so treat it as a light hike rather than a beach-sandal stroll.
