Went to a hike yesterday with my dad and younger brother on a obviously not very touristic path near belasiza-mountains in south-west bulgaria.
The only thing we met on our way to the peak, were a troup of hunters – and their left-behinds.
Even if we didn't intend to do so, we started to collect almost all the trash that we could find on our way and luckily we had 4 big plastic bags with us. Unfortunately, we had to leave behind the 50kg off-road wheel that we found in mid of the woods but everything else we basically took with us. On the pics you can see our harvest.
Why am I posting this here? Well, probably I want to show it to a broader public in hope that some mighty people see it and increase governmental pressure on litterers? Or to warn any tourists how many bulgarians still treat their home-paradise?
However, I'm just leaving this here.

Where is this? It looks familiar.
Bulgaria’s nature is probably the best nature in the world
Big thanks for doing something that the average bulgarian is not bothered to do so .
There is a special type of cretins here that feels its okay to dump their packaging from the window of their car or leave them behind in the woods, as you’ve just seen.
Thank you and Im sorry if this ruined your experience!
Thanks for sharing. I’ve always tried to keep my trash until I found a bin or something. Most people around me just don’t bother and it pisses me off, I always try to encourage them to collect all of their trash and find a bin. Part of the problem is that there aren’t any bins in some areas, but they can still do it, it isn’t as bothersome as they think but they just don’t want to do it and leave all of their trash around, disgusting
Thank you for appreciating Bulgarian nature and forgive 80% of the people for the bad parenting and the lack of common sense.
Absolute legend.
People like you have done more for Bulgaria than all the pseudo-nationalist idiots from Vazrazhdane combined without even being Bulgarian citizens.
You come to MY country cleaning MY mountains!??!
I’m not gonna pick 10 bags of trash, not 50, but 1000 bags of trash! Count your trash picking days fenito por favor!
Yes, it is a shame. But they are doing the same in the city they love in.. Just poor culture, unfortunately.
Thanks for caring ❤️love to all who clean..
Unfortunately it’s the kids who learned it from their parents, who definitely didn’t learn it from their parents. We need to really start shaming people when we see it. Even when someone throws a cigarette butt
People will know better with time(and fines).
You should have seen Sofia in the 90s. Everyone was throwing their garbage on the street, but now it’s a very clean city apart from the air quality.
