ソフィア-市地域のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

love it!

The water mirrors the trees. It’s not dramatic — it’s contemplative. A quiet place to sit, breathe, do nothing.

The parking lot is a great starting point

Great view, and delicious cuisine. You can rest a bit and have a hot soup, before going back.

Beautiful building, but sadly it was not possible to enter when I was there.

For me this was actually the finish of the hike. It was only when we got there that we realized we took the difficult trail (that information isn't offered on the other end of the trail, or at least we didn't see it). The trail was wet and because of that, it was at times a bit sketchy and dangerous. For the difficult trail it's recommended to use grippy shoes and hiking sticks.

It wasn't immediately clear to me that these big stones were the golden bridges, so don't make the same mistake as I did, looking for actual bridges. ;-) Not sure why they're named as such, maybe they light up gold in the sun, but definitely not on the rainy, foggy day I was there. Still looks really nice though.

A place to get coffee in the mountains is always great. It's not big and the offer is limited, but still a good place for a break. Be sure to bring cash and maybe try to learn a few words Bulgarian.
