Details

There used to be an institute that compiles very precise maps, but it is now a for-profit company and sells the data: http://debian.fmi.uni-sofia.bg/~rajna/cartographia/products.html There's also a national cadastre that currently compiles data on land geology and ownership, but it hasn't covered the whole country yet: http://www.cadastre.bg/ Thus, the data was considered unavailable online and in bulk.
