Hot Air Balloon Bungee Jump at Belogradchik Rocks, Bulgaria

Summary

Bungee Jumping from a Hot Air Balloon in Northwest Bulgaria

You’re not just jumping—you’re flying over one of Bulgaria’s wildest landscapes. If you want real adrenaline with unbeatable views and local guides who know every inch of these rocks, this is it.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing that hit me was the quiet—just the soft hiss of the burner and the wind brushing past my ears as we floated above the Belogradchik Rocks. Our guide, Petar, pointed out shapes in the stone below: lions, mushrooms, even a fortress wall carved by time. The rocks stretch for miles, their reddish color catching the early sun. You can actually smell the pine from up here when the breeze is right.

Standing at the edge of that basket, heart thumping, I could see all 30 kilometers of those ancient formations. The jump itself? It’s about 50 meters down—enough to make your stomach flip but not so high you lose your nerve. They kit you out with pro gear and double-check everything. I remember gripping the side, hearing someone laugh nervously behind me, then just... letting go. For a second it’s silent except for your own shout echoing off the cliffs.

If weather gets tricky (it does sometimes), they’ll move to spots near Pravets or Botevgrad—same setup, just different views. But honestly, nothing beats seeing those rocks from above before you leap. We went as a group of friends; you need at least ten people for a session, which made it feel like our own private adventure.
