Summary/Abstract: With Bulgaria’s accession to the European Union (and before that), hundreds of ofGermans considered and realized their settlement in Bulgaria, travelling from Germany to Bulgaria by air or land. Many of them live today in Bulgarian villages located near or far from regional cities. In the new rural environment, they continue their daily practices acquired before emigration but also introduce new activities. For some of them, travelling between routine and new destinations in Bulgaria is an integral part of their lives. The aim of the article is to enrich research on contemporary immigration in Bulgaria, presenting observations on the life of Germans in the country but also on their attitudes towards migration within the country, to other countries or black to Germany.
