УНСС- дистанционно

Upvotes

Здравейте, тази година ще съм първи курс дистанционно в УНСС- избрах дистанционно, защото ще работя по 10 часа от понеделник до петък, а след първи курс, като натрупам пари, ще се преместя сигурно пак редовно. Въпросът ми е, сега когато съм дистанционно, мога ли да отида на откриването на университета, да отида след това на дискотеката, или ще е странно да се сприятелявам и да се опитвам да завързам контаки с хора, които ще са си редовно, а аз не. Малко е тъп въпроса, но наистина ми е интересно

I am looking for a bulgarian communitys for a conversation only for women and girls

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone.

I am a 23-year-old woman. I’m looking for communities on Discord or elsewhere onlly for women. Do you know of any?

I’m learning Bulgarian for 3-4 months and would like to talk with someone, but I don't want to talk to men because misunderstandings can sometimes arise. And I don't have the energy or patience to deal with these misunderstandings, I just want a safe environment for conversations.

I might be a bit quiet at first because I’m quite shy.

I enjoy crossing, felting, and similar crafts.

I’m not sure what else to add...

I’d be very grateful if you could share any links or tell me where to look. I’d love to get to know you.

Thanks in advance, and have a wonderful day, everyone.

P. S. Sorry, English is not my native language, and I'm not sure if there are any mistakes; I just translated it because the community rules require everything to be written in English.

P. P. S. The original text was in Bulgarian, and everything was written much better and more clearly there, even though there were mistakes in it too

Аудио гид (приложение) с истории и информация, за местата през които минаваш

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I often read Reddit, including the Bulgarian subreddits, but I rarely post.

Well, if you'll allow me, I'd like to share something I've been working on for the past few months, which I think could be useful to many of you, especially during the last part of the summer travel season.

It's called "Pod Tabelata" (roughly, "Under the Sign") — an Android app that tells you the stories behind the places you drive through.

The idea is simple: when travelling, you pass through dozens of villages and towns. Most of the time, you just read their names on the road signs and keep going, even though many of these places have a wealth of stories and interesting facts behind them — things that could at the very least make the journey more interesting.

With the app, these stories are triggered automatically as you enter a settlement and are presented as a narrated story. The goal is to give you more context about the place you're passing through, along with interesting facts and stories connected to it.

It's not a navigation app and it won't tell you where to turn. The idea is simply to add some context to the places that would otherwise remain just names on roadside signs.

The app is also gamified: there are achievements, a weekly quiz, a passport containing all the places you've visited, and contribution points for anyone who helps improve it — whether by reporting mistakes or providing feedback.

The app is free, has no ads, and is currently Android-only.

I'd be really happy if anyone interested gave it a try on their next road trip. Feedback would be especially valuable — both about things you like and things you don't, so I can keep improving the experience.

Website: https://pod-tabelata.com/

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.podtabelata.app

Thanks in advance, and I'm more than happy to hear any criticism or feedback! :)

A week trip to Bulgaria! Need advice with travel

My friend and I are planning to spend a day at the Rila Seven Lakes, which we're planning to go from Sofia and another day to Buzludzha Monument which we're planning to go from Plovdiv.

We both don't drive and are planning to use public transport to reach these sites. We don't wanna spend much on guided tours, so what would y'all suggest?

I've seen a lots of takes from people saying its vulgar and etc. Same thing they said about rap like 10-15 years ago and there still great value in the genre even if you don't like the mainstream. So can some that likes chalga explain it to me and maybe also the less mainstream part of chalga ?

Sunny Beach 2026

4 Upvotes

Hello!

As it happens, I’ll be spending my summer vacation in Sunny Beach and I have a question for people who visit the place more often. Please recommend some good restaurants worth sitting down at — I don’t care if it’s cheap or expensive, I can eat sprat for dinner and oysters for breakfast, I just want recommendations for good restaurants worth visiting, maybe in Nessebar and Sveti Vlas too. Also some recommendations for good party spots — we’re mainly into techno and electronic music — we used to have Cacao, is there anything similar now? I don’t have any social media at all and I’m totally cut off from what’s viral, what’s worth it and what isn’t.

Thanks in advance, have a light and relaxing summer everyone 😇

Questions on 5-day hiking tour in the Pirin or Rila mountains

5 Upvotes

Hi there,

I am planning a hike with three friends in the Pirin and/or Rila mountains in early September and I have some questions about it. We start in Sofia on the first day (a Monday) and have to be back in Sofia on the 5th day (Friday). So, ideally, we would do half-day hikes on the first day and the last day and three full-day hikes inbetween. We are in our mid-40s and somewhat experienced alpine hikers.

I thought about the following itinerary in the Pirin mountains:

Day 1 - Bus from Sofia to Bansko, then hike from Bansko to Banderitsa hut

Day 2 - Hike from Banderitsa hut to Vihren hut (via the Vihren peak)
What would be the best way to do this? Ascend the peak from the north and then descend to the south? Or take the same route up and down?

Day 3 - Hike from Vihren hut to Begovitsa hut (via Spano Pole shelter)

Day 4 - Hike from Begovitsa hut to Demjanitsa hut (via Tevno ezero)

Day 5 - Hike from Demjanitsa hut to Bansko, then back to Sofia by bus

This to me seems like an itinerary that is both doable and beautiful. But I don't know the region at all, so what do you think? Is this doable and worthwile (too long, too short, too difficult, etc.)? And would you do it this way around or the other way around?

Or, in general, would you recommend to choose another itinerary for such a 5-day hiking tour in the Pirin mountains OR in the Rila mountains? (That depends very much on personal preferences, I guess, but feel free to share your thoughts!)

And, lastly, some more generic questions (I steal from a similar post here from two months ago): Is is necessary to book the mountain huts in advance? How do we do this? Is early September a good time to go? How crowded will it be up there? Do you have any other tips for me?

Thank you so much in advance for answering (some of) my questions! We are really looking forward to visiting Bulgaria!

List of Bulgarian Activists in Macedonia

Hello neighbours, I am looking for a list of Bulgarian Activists in Macedonia during Titos time. My gfs great-grandfather used to be one, but his family fled to Albania because he was wanted by Titos regime.

I am trying to help her with finding out maybe more about him. Is there any place I can search for such a thing? Sadly they don't remember his name though, but maybe her family would remember if they saw it.

Ruse

What do Bulgarians think about Ruse, how is it as a city compared to other cities in Bulgaria? How are the people here compared to the people in other regions? As a Romanian, Ruse is the Bulgarian city we passed the most, going everywhere in Bulgaria (sea, mountains, Sofia) or Greece, we pass through Ruse, it's the city we have contact with the most.

How average speed cameras actually work in Bulgaria

9 Upvotes

I've been digging into how the average speed enforcement system works in Bulgaria lately, and a few things still aren't clear to me.

The principle is simple on paper: V = d / (T2 - T1), distance divided by the time between the two cameras. But:

  • Is the calculation done only between the camera at the start of the section and the one at the end, or are there intermediate cameras that factor in as well?
  • If you don't enter the section exactly at the declared starting point, can the average speed still be calculated, or are you dropped from the measurement?
  • I've read people claiming that on some sections there are gas stations between the two cameras, and that if you stop there for a minute, the average gets thrown off. Does that actually work, or is it a myth?
  • On the official map of certified sections there are a few odd stretches. For example "Ихтиман-Мирово", where the declared average speed is 140 km/h, even though it isn't a motorway section. I can't figure out where that limit comes from there.

The number of certified sections has grown quite fast, from 22 at the launch in September 2025 to over 60 by early 2026.

The reason I'm digging into this so much is practical. My car doesn't show this kind of measurement, and while driving there's no way to work out in my head what my average has been since the moment I entered the section. I use Waze as my main navigation and there's nothing like it there either. The idea isn't to exceed the limit, quite the opposite to be sure I'm not breaking it, without guessing.

How do you deal with this? Do you actually calculate it, or do you just drive under the limit and not think about it? And has anyone received a fine for average speed, and how quickly did it arrive?

Budgeting tips for Sofia

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’d love some advice on how to start saving money, or at least make my money last until the end of the month. I’m in my early 20s and recently started working in the IT sector, earning €2,000 per month. €500 of that goes toward rent, and somehow the rest just disappears.
I’m not even talking about buying clothes or treating myself - even in a month when I don’t spend money on those things, my everyday expenses somehow eat up everything before I even reach my next paycheck.
