The four-crown Magnoliite Hotel in Primorsko, owned by Albena AD offers jeep-safari. The track is 25 km long running through steep mountain hills and brooks. The group consists of 30 tourists. The first stop is made at an open-air charcoal mining plant. The next stop in the course of the extreme tour is in Bachvariat (the Cooper) lot near the village of Pismenovo. The site is one of the five most suitable regions for oak casks production. The next stop is Pchelina (the Bee-garden). Tourists can have a rest there surrounded by 15 bee-hives. The whole enjoyable experience ends up with a bivouac in the mountain. The hosts make up a fire and roast mushrooms on a sheet iron. The delicious dainty is served with plenty of beer, anisette and even champagne. The picnic takes a whole hour and the tourists return along the same route.
