Golden Sands Nature Park stretches along nine kilometres of Black Sea coastline, 17 kilometres northeast of Varna, forming the western border of the Golden Sands resort. At just 13.2 square kilometres, it is the smallest nature park in Bulgaria, though you wouldn't know it from the variety of trails on offer. The paths are uneven and can get muddy after rain, so decent footwear is advisable. A natural highlight along the way is Aladzha Monastery, where a well provides drinking water. From there you can continue through the forest towards Vinitsa or drop down to the beach at Golden Sands.
