On Bulgaria's Independence Day, September 22, National Geographic's starts airing its fourth season of "Europe from Above" with an episode dedicated to Bulgaria. 

The aim of the series is to show footage from all four seasons and a new perspective from above on key locations in Europe. Thanks to modern drone technology and the skills of professional pilots, Bulgaria is shown for the first time from a bird's eye perspective and at the same time through the stories of different people. This was also the aim of the authors - to show the whole picture - from tradition, through engineering technology to the natural landmarks that shape the unique image of Europe.

Bulgaria is one of the six countries that will be the focus in the new series of National Geographic. The story of Bulgaria "from above" begins with the buried secrets of the ancient city of Perperikon. Viewers will have the rare chance to observe the fieldwork of archaeologist Prof. Nikolay Ovcharov and his team.

The drones of "Europe from Above" film a hike to the weather station on Musala Peak in severe winter conditions and deep snow. The episode also includes great shots of the fishermen's village Chengene Skele near Burgas, as well as of the mystical dance circles of Master Peter Deunov's followers during the Divine New Year Paneurhythmy ritual performed each summer on the Seven Rila Lakes.

The fourth series of "Europe from Above" consists of 6 parts and shows impressive views of the most attractive cultural and geographical landmarks in Bulgaria as well as in Serbia, Romania, Scotland, Denmark and Belgium.
