From July 5: A complete ban on the movement of jeeps and ATVs in Rila National Park comes into force  - 1

The movement of jeeps and ATVs in Rila National Park is banned, BNT reported.< /p>

In recent years, the management of the park, together with other institutions, has been seriously monitoring the illegal transportation of passengers, especially to the Seven Rila Lakes. This necessitated the annual introduction of a ban on their passage through the protected territories. Who will monitor whether it is observed and for how long?

"The curfew comes into effect from July 5 after the order is issued. The validity period will be 90 days - until the beginning of October. With the mass movement of tourists in July, August and September, there should be no such movement, with the exception of the specialized mode of movement of motor vehicles for vehicles for forest equipment, fire fighting equipment and those vehicles that serve the tourist sites located in the area" , said Kalin Galev – mayor of Sapareva Banya municipality.
