Overview

The one of a kind road trip! Visit the most exotic communist landmark on top of the world, with the most underrated example of an automotive socialist icon - the Trabant 601S! 500km round trip of screaming fury will ascend to the highest communist monument in Europe.

Buzludzha Monument was built in 1981 on the peak called Buzludzha by the Bulgarian communist regime. The main goal was to commemorate the events in 1891 when the socialists assembled secretly in the area to form an organized socialist movement with the founding of the Bulgarian Social Democratic Party, a forerunner of the Bulgarian Communist Party.

Nowadays since the Fall of Communism in Bulgaria the Buzludzha Monument is abandoned and in disrepair.

I chose to embark on the journey from Sofia to the Buzludzha Monument in a Trabant. No, I didn't really know what the Trabant was before discovering the tour online. The tour exceeded my expectations. Due to the slow pace of the car, you get to see all the villages along the way, and the villagers are quite happy to see a Trabant driving through. The car is constantly greeted with thumbs up, waves, and smiles. We even ran into a couple that had customized their Trabants when we stopped to look at a monument along the way. It was interesting to learn and be around those who are genuinely interested in this tiny little car. Danny kept the entire day filled with engaging conversations and provided so much information about the area and Bulgaria! I highly recommend this tour!!
