Driving in Bulgaria: I-2 E70 & I-7 from Razgrad to Shumen / Разград - Шумен

In this video you can ride along on national road I-2 E70 and a short bit of I-7 from Razgrad to Shumen in northern Bulgaria. The I-2 connects the northern city of Ruse to the A2 at Shumen and ultimately Varna on the Black Sea coast.
The I-2 is in a decent shape compared to some other roads in Bulgaria. It also has quite a few overtaking opportunities, with regular 2 x 1 alignments repeating for the entire distance between Ruse and Shumen. It's therefore much more pleasant to drive than the I-5 towards Byala for example.
Razgrad is a middle sized city between Ruse and Shumen. It's mostly known for being home to football club Ludogorets. Shumen is a slightly larger city not too far from the A2 Hemus motorway.

Beautiful drive, used to take this road from Bucharest to the bulgarian seaside. Enjoyed it a lot, good geometry road through a hilly landscape, and light traffic. Was nice to see it in your video after more than 10 years, thanks a lot!

Great drive and first! Did you know China has the longest expressway network than the motorways/expressway in EU combined?

[@nielsontheroad]

Yes they built a vast network over the past decades

Sometimes I really wonder what on earth have you lost there to be passing such godforsaken roads 😋😜😇
