Kom-Emine is the longest tourist route in Bulgaria. It crosses the country from the western to the eastern point of the so-called “Old Mountain”. Through the years the route became a legend, attracting people from all around the country in an attempt to discover their inner strength and determination, their personal limitations, and the ability to overcome them.
