Nature Trip South of Sofia

Introduction to an Organized Trip to Bulgaria

Spectacular Travel Route – Vitosha to Rila Mountains

I propose an amazing itinerary that begins with an ascent to Vitosha Mountain, where you can admire breathtaking views of Sofia from above.

The journey then continues towards the Rila Mountains, with stops at three magical lakes along the way:

  • First Lake – Offers a unique experience, where boiling thermal waters emerge from the earth into the lake.

  • Second Lake – Features a stunning suspension bridge that allows you to cross above the water.

  • Third Lake – Provides an unparalleled dining experience, with a restaurant perched on the lake’s edge, serving delicious food with spectacular views.

The itinerary then takes you to Rila’s hot mineral baths, which are truly an unforgettable experience (entry fee: 20-30 BGN per person). For those who prefer a more tranquil activity, there’s an option to swap the hot baths for a short and easy ecological hiking trail along the river, featuring charming wooden bridges crossing the stream.

Additionally, horseback riding or ATV tours can be incorporated into the journey with minor route adjustments (not included in the base trip price).

Note: This itinerary does not include the famous Seven Rila Lakes. 
Trip duration: Approximately 8 hours, including a Hebrew-speaking guide, hotel pickup, and return at the end of the day.

Every itinerary can be fully customized to match your preferences and interests.
