There is no bridge over the canal that bisects the town. Residents and visitors alike rely on a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.belferi.com\/schedule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">regular ferry to cross between the northern and southern banks<\/a>. This free, state-supported ferry is a practical service and an attraction in its own right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every ten minutes from 4:00 a.m. to midnight, the ferry glides across the water, carrying passengers and vehicles. About 5,000 people and 1,800 cars cross each day. If you\u2019re lucky, you\u2019ll catch a sunrise or sunset dancing on the surface of the canal as you float between the two halves of the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this seemingly quaint setup has a sad past. In 1978, tragedy struck when a pontoon bridge collapsed during the town\u2019s holiday celebration, claiming 65 lives. That event led to the removal of the bridge and a renewed focus on the ferry as the town\u2019s lifeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the ferry undergoes maintenance, the municipality operates a small backup boat, \u201cBella\u201d. It is a quiet symbol of the town\u2019s resilience and its care for the local community. Unfortunately, it is a passenger boat only and cannot carry cars. On such days, cars must drive all the way around the lake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Construction of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?v=1195291315799397\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New Ferry for Beloslav began in 2025<\/a>. The new vessel, designed for the transport of passengers, cars, trucks, and other non-rail wheeled and tracked vehicles, will have the capacity to carry at least 40 motor vehicles and up to 230 passengers on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#Top\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#Top\">Back to Top<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Day-Trip-from-Varna-to-a-Town-Shaped-by-Lakes\">Day Trip from Varna to a Town Shaped by Lakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the ferry gently crosses the canal, the town\u2019s identity is shaped by something more robust: industry.  During the communist era, Beloslav became a focal point for large-scale industrialisation. In mid 20th century plans to connect the freshwater Beloslav Lake with the Black Sea through Lake Varna were made with little concern for the ecological cost. What resulted was a deep-water navigation canal that altered the natural landscape and led to the collapse of local freshwater ecosystems. Today, only jellyfish thrive in these waters, while dolphins that occasionally venture in from the sea don\u2019t survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet the town endured and even thrived. Beloslav became home to some of Bulgaria\u2019s major industries:  <a href=\"https:\/\/varna-tpp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Varna Thermal Power Plant (TPP Varna)<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/mtgdolphin.bg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MTG Delfin shipyard<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/inhomglass.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Inhom Glassworks<\/a>. And tucked inside one of Inhom\u2019s former factory halls is something few expect on a day trip from Varna: a unique Glass Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#Top\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#Top\">Back to Top<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"The-Museum-of-Glass-in-Beloslav-Where-Industry-Meets-Art-on-a-Day-Trip-from-Varna\">The Museum of Glass in Beloslav: Where Industry Meets Art on a Day Trip from Varna<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"874\" src=\"https:\/\/bwl-bwlo.wasmer.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/x_Varna_Beloslav_GlassMuseum.jpg\" alt=\"A museum hall inside the Glass Museum displaying colourful handcrafted artworks, a cultural highlight on a day trip from Varna.\" class=\"wp-image-619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bwl-bwlo.wasmer.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/x_Varna_Beloslav_GlassMuseum.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bwl-bwlo.wasmer.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/x_Varna_Beloslav_GlassMuseum-300x256.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bwl-bwlo.wasmer.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/x_Varna_Beloslav_GlassMuseum-768x656.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The Museum of Glass is <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/RD5FJuqzGbGX9iEdA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">located on the southern side of Beloslav Lake<\/a> (map), right next to the Slava submarine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open from Wednesday to Sunday from 10:00 a.m. The last admission is at 15:00.

It blends industrial heritage with artistic wonder. Located on the grounds of INHOM, Bulgaria\u2019s only remaining hand-blown glass factory, the museum invites visitors into a colourful world of craftsmanship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tour begins with the history of glass production in the region, dating back to 1893. Visitors then witness a live demonstration where artisans shape molten glass into elegant forms before their eyes. One of the most striking highlights is the Glass Cave, a cooled 10-tonne furnace transformed into a glowing art installation after the 2009 gas crisis. The surrounding \u201cGlass River,\u201d made from repurposed furnace parts, symbolises the harmony of fire, water, and light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitors can also decorate a glass item themselves, creating a personalised souvenir. The final stop is the exhibition hall filled with hundreds of handmade pieces such as vases, candlesticks, figurines. All these are available for purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Was This Crisis?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2009 gas crisis in Bulgaria was caused by a price dispute between Russia and Ukraine, cutting off gas supplies to several countries. Bulgaria was severely affected because 95% of its gas came through that single route. The shutdown caused industrial halts and threatened household heating in winter. Today Bulgaria has diversified its sources. The Glass Cave was &#8220;formed&#8221; because the production at the factory has to stop. Today the Glass Cave is a creative reminder not to rely on a single supplier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#Top\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#Top\">Back to Top<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Explore-Bulgarias-Last-Submarine-on-a-Day-Trip-from-Varna-to-a-Cold-War-Relic-\">Explore Bulgaria\u2019s Last Submarine on a Day Trip from Varna to a Cold War Relic <\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"874\" src=\"https:\/\/bwl-bwlo.wasmer.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/x_Varna_Beloslav_SlavaSubmarine2.jpg\" alt=\"The interior of the Cold War submarine museum, showing narrow passageways and original equipment explored during a day trip from Varna.\" class=\"wp-image-634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bwl-bwlo.wasmer.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/x_Varna_Beloslav_SlavaSubmarine2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bwl-bwlo.wasmer.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/x_Varna_Beloslav_SlavaSubmarine2-300x256.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bwl-bwlo.wasmer.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/x_Varna_Beloslav_SlavaSubmarine2-768x656.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The Slava submarine is <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/Ux4GUY53oTg8ecrL9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">located on the southern side of Beloslav lake<\/a> (map), next to the Museum of Glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open from Wednesday to Sunday from 10:00 a.m. Last admission 15:00.

Commissioned by the Soviet Navy in 1960 and transferred to Bulgaria in 1985, it remained in service until 2011, making it a significant Cold War relic.

It is translated to Glory in English and reflects the long time service of this well-preserved vessel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe had a clear goal &#8211; that the last Bulgarian submarine would not follow the fate of the others, which were cut up for metal,\u201d says Dancho Kalchev, owner of the museum and the glass factory next door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside, the cramped quarters still hum with stories. Visitors can peer through periscopes, crawl through hatches, and sit at the controls once used by sailors patrolling the Black Sea. Every gauge and torpedo tube remains in place, preserving an eerie authenticity.

One of them is Yatata, a protected area whose name means \u201cthe flocks.\u201d Hundreds of birds settle in the reeds here, sheltered from engines and ferry horns. A short drive down a dirt road leads you to this serene sanctuary. Even in the colder months, birdwatchers and nature lovers come to admire birds in flight and listen to rustling bulrushes while giant freighters glide toward Port Varna West in the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The contrast is surreal: towering cargo ships and delicate birdlife sharing the same horizon.

It is a town that invites you to slow down, look beyond the obvious, and appreciate the layered beauty of Bulgaria\u2019s lesser-known places which makes it perfect for a peaceful <strong>day trip from Varna<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beloslav is where a free ferry is more than a mode of transport \u2014 it is a symbol of community. It is where a factory-turned-museum holds both past and future in molten glass, where chilli peppers spark conversation and pride, and where birds rest undisturbed as industries hum gently nearby. You will not find it highlighted in guidebooks, but that is because its stories are still best shared in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So skip the crowded beach for a day. Hop on the ferry.
