The best way to understand a village is to walk through it. Venelin is easy to reach and easy to underestimate from a distance.

Where it is

Venelin lies in northeastern Bulgaria, in Dolni Chiflik Municipality, Varna Province, on the left bank of the Kamchiya River at about 53 metres elevation.

The municipal town of Dolni Chiflik is roughly 8 kilometres away, and the Black Sea coast and the city of Varna are each within an easy drive. Exact travel times depend on your route, so check a current map service before you set out.

Coordinates: 43°02′46″N 27°40′08″E

Getting there

A car is the practical way to visit. From Varna, follow the road south towards Dolni Chiflik and turn inland for Venelin; the drive from the city normally takes well under an hour.

Varna has the nearest airport, long-distance buses and trains. Public transport into the village itself is limited — if you are visiting without a car, ask us about current options before you plan the trip.

In and around the village

In the village: the church of Archangel Michael, the old village streets, gardens and farmyards, and the open landscape of fields and low hills that surrounds everything. Walking here is the point, not a means to it.

Nearby: the Kamchiya River and its countryside, the town of Dolni Chiflik, and the Black Sea coast with the protected riverside forests (the Longoza) near the Kamchiya river mouth.

Visiting respectfully

Venelin is a living village, not an attraction. People work, keep animals and live their lives here. Greet people, ask before photographing anyone, keep to public roads and paths, and do not enter yards, fields or orchards — almost all land is privately owned.

If you would like to meet us while you are here, write ahead — we are happy to say hello when we can.
