“Curious about the lives of ostriches? This is the place to go. Less than an hour drive from Sofia, this kid-friendly ostrich farm, nestled in a picturesque valley between the breathtaking mountain ranges of Rila and Sredna Gora, is one of the oldest in Bulgaria. The friendly and competent farm staff will give you a fun and educational tour among these remarkable African natives, the ostriches, which have meanwhile got very much acclimatized to the local latitudes. You will even be allowed to pet them (just stay away from the males, cause they can kill you with a single kick!). After the tour, take a table on the restaurant terrace to enjoy that great view and try the super tasty ostrich eggs and steak (rest assured that no animals are being slaughtered for their meat – it’s only the ones that sustain unfortunate injuries, like an accidentally broken leg, which end up on the kitchen table, because it’s impossible for them to recover. Therefore, steak is not always available). Definitely an unforgettable experience.“
