Tour Details | Biking in Bulgaria

BIKING THE BULGARIAN HILLS

The trip starts in Sofia – the capital city. The town is set in a plain surrounded by mountain ranges, hills and gorges. There are numerous biking routes within easy reach from Sofia.

We spend the first two nights here and bike /cycle in the hills nearby. This will be routes in Lozen and Plana Mountains where biking is mostly done on forest roads.

Apart from biking/ cycling we will also explore Sofia. We will not only make a sightseeing tour but visit some markets and parks. Nice cafes and restaurants are waiting to be discovered too.

The second part of the tour is spent on the foot of Rila Mountains National Park, which is also declared as a PAN Park. We are based in the village of Govedartsi and stay in a family-run guesthouse. The area provides some excellent easy to moderate biking/ cycling routes. We can try the one in Lakatishka Rila or some in the area of Vada and Maliovitsa. Biking downhill from Ovnarsko to Govedartsi is also great! Most routes follow small mountain roads with views to jagged peaks and century old pine forests.
