Lesovo, Bulgaria to Hamzabeyli, Turkey with bike

It's hard to find online information about the border crossings between Bulgaria and Turkey in English. The border crossing between Kapitan Andreevo, Bulgaria and Kapıkule, Turkey is allegedly only open for cars and lorries.

Does somebody know if the nearby border crossing between Lesovo, Bulgaria and Hamzabeyli, Turkey is open for pedestrians and/or bicyclists?

Best Answer

After actually trying it, I can now confirm that it is possible to cross the border both by foot and by bike.

Plan some time, there are a total of 6 checkpoints (two passport controls and one custom check at each side of the border), so even with almost no traffic, it took me almost two hours to get through from Bulgaria to Turkey.
