One of Sofia’s most valued assets is Mount Vitosha – a symbol inextricably linked with the history, folklore and the climate of the Bulgarian capital. With only 30 minutes drive from the center of Sofia and you are already in the heart of Vitosha Nature Park. This is the oldest nature park on the Balkans preserving amazing biodiversity in balance with a myriad of human outdoor activities as trekking, skiing, paragliding, moutain biking, etc.
The mountain is also considered the cradle of the Bulgarian tourism, since the first ever organized group hike in Bulgaria was to its highest peak Cherni Vrah (2290 m). Century-old forests, spectacular views of postcard sceneries, amusing rock formations, exceptionally rich wildlife, meadows filled with rare flowers and crossed by pristine streams, ski runs and great walking paths – this is Vitosha, almost a stone’s throw away from Sofia’s center.
