We arrived in Paris during the Olympics and found the service, bikes and advice so helpful in our 21 day journal through Europe. You have contributed to memories that will be forever with us. The BMW 750 bikes were superb and never missed a beat during the hot summer conditions. Harald Gosche2024-06-10

Map Elena
ELENA - Bulgaria » The nineteenth-century National Revival town of Elena is located 40 km southeast of Veliko Tarnovo. During the centuries under the Ottoman power the Turks used the town's population to guard the local mountain passes, giving them a measure of autonomy in return, so painters and woodcarvers of nineteenth-century Elena were able to decorate the churches of the surrounding countryside, and patriotic local merchants could finance the restoration of nearby monasteries like Kapinovo. Although Elena has not been renovated to the same extent as other National Revival towns, the core of nineteenth-century structures grouped around the hilltop church make a visit here more than worthwhile.
