The Narrow-Gauge Railway is seen passing by the Pirin mountain near the Bulgaria resorts of Bansko, L and Razlog, R. The Rhodope narrow-gauge railway in Bulgaria is one of the few existing narrow-gauge railways with a regular schedule in the world. Not just used as an attraction. It is considered one of the best train journeys in Europe. The line acquires its finished look, as it is today from the town of Septemvri to the town of Dobrinishte in 1945. 76 cm track gauge, 3 mountains, many rivers, several gorges, rocky slopes sprinkled with powdered sugar peaks, vast green meadows, the smell of a cocktail of herbs, wildlife, 12 stations and 13 stops, 35 tunnels, 50 years old locomotives, the highest railway station in the Balkans, SPA and ski capitals of the Balkans, a line winding in sixes and eights, climbing 5 floors above it, a tourist attraction and the only transportation for many Bulgarians living in small remote villages on the route. This is the Rhodope Narrow Gauge Railway, which runs at no more than 50 km per hour, and your entire journey, although lasting 5 and a half hours, passes in an instant, and the world media describes it as one of the best train journeys in Europe, Rhodope, Bulgaria on June 13, 2020

People, members of two families, collecttobacco leaves at sunrise in a cropfield near the town of Razlog some 145 km south from the Bulgarian capital Sofia, Aug. 13, 2018. They migrate every summer from their native village of Ribnovo (about 44 km to the east of Razlog) to Razlog where the soil is better for growing tobacco. Tobacco production is an extremely important branch of Bulgarian farming. Almost all the tobacco produce in Bulgaria is intended to be exported. The cropfields where tobacco is grown in Bulgaria are as large as 43 000 dka. Growing tobacco is hugely difficult especially during planting and collecting the leaves. On the contrary the farmers usually are forced to sell their tobacco production at very low prices- 7leva (3,5 euro) in year 2017. A family needs to grow tobacco on at least 8 dka so as they would be able to fund living. Photo by Petko Momchilov/Impact Press GroupNurPhoto
