The town of SHABLA is a typical farming community
and not particularly note-worthy unless you happen to be there on a national
holiday, such as the Day of Culture (May 24th) when the whole town turns
out for festive folk-singing and dancing. The small Balkantourist hotel
in the center has the last year-round accommodations before the border.
Fifteen kilometers to the northeast is the small fishing village of KRAPETS
and a campground of the same name two kilometers further north at the end
of an access road that hugs the coast. The campground, a well-kept complex
of bungalows and villas set amidst a wooded area (which provides protection
from the strong winds which beset the region), is fifty meters from the
largest and finest beach to be found north of Albena. This gem of a place
is remarkably undeveloped, although it's hard to keep a secret for long:
a modem complex is underway nearby and a Swedish consortium has also acquired
property in the vicinity.
DURANKULAK is best known for being the last town before the border and the
site of a peasant rebellion in 1900 against an oppressive tax on agricultural
produce. Like Shabla, it too has a lake lagoon on its eastern flank. The
lake, with semi-salty water and swamp flora, is surrounded by steppe vegetation
and, on the narrow strip separating it from the sea, sand-dune hugging plant
life. With seven species offish listed in the Bulgarian Red Book of endangered
species. Lake Durankulak, like its counterpart to the south, is a main wintering
spot of the globally-endangered red-breasted goose.
East of town, at the end of a four-kilometer road near the lake, is the
last of the coastal campgrounds. Although Kosmos has the usual setting -
bungalows and villas set amidst woods a stone's throw from the sea - neither
the facilities nor the beach can compare with those at Krapets, visible
on the southern horizon at the end of a long promontory. Five kilometers
north is the border. Unless crossing into Romania, there is no reason to
venture here: there are a half-dozen snack bars, change bureaus, a duty-free
shop, and that's about it.
