The headland and lighthouse at Cape Emine

North and inland

Cape Emine

The middle of the Black Sea coast, where the Balkan range ends.

The Balkan mountains run the width of Bulgaria and stop here, dropping into the sea at a cape with a lighthouse, a ruined monastery and the village of Emona above it. The long-distance trail across the whole country ends at this point.

There is no resort, no café strip and no easy road — a rough track from Emona and then the cliff. The view along both coasts is the reason to come.
