Our offroad / overlanding tours in 2024

(Klicken Sie hier für Deutsch)

It’s been almost 10 years since we’ve started offering offroad / overlanding tours in the Balkans under Rustika label, and in that time we’ve become best known for our total wilderness tours. These tours feature some incredible wild campsites far from civilization and major roads, often in deep forests with no mobile signal, in places where we would probably be undisturbed for as long as we decide to stay there. Serbia is especially famous for such abandoned places deep in the wild, but Bulgaria, with an even lower population density than Serbia, isn’t short on them either.

Our offroad / overlanding tours feature some unbelievably beautiful wild campspots

Lets start with the hotel tours this time

However, not all of our customers are fans of the jungle adventure survival style, that sometimes includes a fierce struggle with the elements. We are well aware that there are people who prefer to have a warm bed, a restaurant, hot spa and sauna after a day on the trail, and that is why we are offering three hotel tours in Serbia too. But due to a lack of demand lately, it seems that our potential customers aren’t aware of that fact. So we will start the overview of our 2024 offerings with those three hotel tours.

Unsere offroad / overland Touren in 2024

(click here for English)

Es ist fast 10 Jahre her dass wir begonnen haben Offroad / Overland Touren auf dem Balkan unter dem Label Rustika anzubieten, und in dieser Zeit sind wir vor allem für unsere Total Wildnis Touren bekannt geworden. Auf diesen Touren finden Sie einige unglaublich schöne Campingplätze fernab der Zivilisation und großer Straßen, oft in tiefen Wäldern ohne Mobilfunkempfang, an Orten an denen wir wahrscheinlich so lange ungestört bleiben können wie wir uns entscheiden dort zu bleiben. Serbien ist vor allem für solche verlassenen Orte tief in der Wildnis bekannt, aber auch in Bulgarien, wo die Bevölkerungsdichte noch geringer ist als in Serbien, mangelt es ihnen nicht.

Unsere Offroad-/Overlandtouren bieten einige unglaublich schöne wilde Campingplätze

Beginnen wir dieses Mal mit den Hoteltouren

Allerdings sind nicht alle unserer Kunden Fans des Dschungelabenteuer-Überlebensstils, der manchmal einen heftigen Kampf mit den Natur beinhaltet. Wir sind uns bewusst dass es Menschen gibt die nach einem Tag auf dem Trail lieber ein warmes Bett, ein Restaurant, ein heißes Spa und eine Sauna haben möchten, und deshalb bieten wir auch drei Hoteltouren in Serbien an. Aufgrund der in letzter Zeit mangelnden Nachfrage scheinen sich unsere potenziellen Kunden dieser Tatsache jedoch nicht bewusst zu sein. Deshalb beginnen wir den Überblick über unser Angebot für 2024 mit diesen drei Hoteltouren.

Four tours (one three times) in four different Balkan countries – Serbia, Montenegro, Albania and Bulgaria.

Balkan Offroad Touren in 2022

Nach einer eineinhalbjährigen Unterbrechung unserer Offroad Touren wurden unsere Touren im Juli 2021 endlich wieder aufgenommen. Wir hatten einen wirklich wundervollen zweiten Teil des Jahres – viele Touren, viele glückliche Menschen, tolles Wetter und unvergessliche Erinnerungen an einige fantastische Orte. Der Balkan ist immer noch die letzte verbliebene echte Wildnis in Europa, eine aufregende, dynamische Landschaft, die es zu erkunden gilt und Ihnen die wahre Freiheit bietet, überall hinzugehen und in der Wildnis zu campen. Also lieber genießen, solange es dauert!
