Tourist Association MADARA HORSEMAN

In 1943 a tourist called Lujbomir Targovski donates his house to serve the needs of the tourists. After the establishment of tourist association “Madara Horseman” and the Bulgarian Tourist Association, tourist movement started developing. Citizens of Shumen take part in national touristic events – trips, alpine climbing events and cave descending.
Three times participants from Shumen team took part in the “Kom-Emine” hiking trip. Once the event was organized by the participants themselves. L. Simeonov, D. Angelov, d-r V. Gorchev, S. Ivanov, Vyara Kirilova and Aram Mazuryan. On a trip called “Following the steps of Hristo Botev’s rebellions” participants from Shumen always take the leading positions. “Following the steps of Volov” is also a traditional climbing event. International meets include climbing of the highest Balkan peak Mitikas of Mount Olympus, Greece and Moldoveanu peak in the Carpathian Mountains, Romania. Shumen alpine climbers have been to peaks in the mountains of Noshaq, Pamir mountains, the Tian Shan mountain range and Kavkaz mountains, Russia. It’s a successful period for the tourist association and the mountain huts “Madara horseman” and “Varbishki prohod” were built. Summer trips became quite popular.

Despite difficulties the association’s activity is supported by the following clubs:

 – Mountain hiking club “Shumen Fortress”
 – Mountaineering club “Visoka polyna”
 – Mountaineering club “20 minutes”
 – Mountaineering club “Planinarstvo”
 – Orienteering club “Madara horseman”
 – Mountaineering club “Tourists veterans”
 – Tourist choir “Planinsko eho”
