Have you ever dreamed of visiting Middle Earth? Have you imagined the green healthy and beautiful countryside of the Shire?
Well, if New Zealand /the original location of the Hobbit movies/ is too far for you I recommend a special eco-friendly location in Bulgaria called Zlaten Park.
Zlaten Park /The Golden Park / is located at the exit of the town of Lukovit, Bulgaria.

At the entrance there is a barrier representing a processed branch of wood stepped on an old iron wheel.
The path was clean, there wasn`t a single piece of waste around. The water was cold and clean.
There was a charming duck house for the beautiful ducks that live there, wild and free.
My son, my wife and I had a great time there near the river and around the hobbit houses.
Look at this 4-storey house of stone and wood, which can be reached by a bridge of stone flowers and which offers an amazing view of the micro dam on the Zlatna Panega river.
It was beautiful from the inside too.
The place is full of beautiful flowers.
The little floating fisherman`s house was so charming.
Even the toilets and the lampposts were eco-friendly green and well... hobbitish.
The views were breathtaking.
There were plenty of places to rest and enjoy the beauty of the park.
We left this wonderful place full of positive energy and beautiful memories.
PS. There was no entrance fee, everything was free except the car park /which cost 1 euro per hour or something close to that/
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING
