Geocache Description:

An off-the-map road, a beautiful but very empty village in the mountains. Accessible and family friendly, drive to the School House by car and then it's a short walk to the cache.

Bulgaria is full of glorious forgotten villages all slowly dying or already dead. Gorna Bela Rechka shares this same story with so many abandoned villages, homes, schools and life.


Gorna Bela Rechka in our eyes wants so passionately to be remembered, the homes left by many families still remain locked, the key held by whoever abandoned them. The people still there welcome you with the hospitality only matched by someone wanting to be loved.

This village, home, family, life, that welcomes you so warmly is not looking to be reborn. It has had its time and no change is needed here. No regeneration Gorna Bela Rechka justs wants to say goodbye... however long that goodbye may last.

During the Goat Milk Festival this year, we performed a spontaneous intervention led by Friction Arts that challenged us all to question and embrace the festival's theme of Abandonment. The Blue House is one of many Abandoned buildings and we adore it. The door is locked and someone had the key.

The Geocache is within the village of Gorna Bela Rechka, it is accessible by car but we suggest you park by the old School House and walk up the track from there. The GPS will take you to a part of the road looking at the Blue House in the picture, the cache is hidden around here. In it you will find our stories, our goodbyes and offerings to this Abandoned house. There is no room in this cache to leave more than a note.
