One day trips
This is just a small list of one day trips that I offer= Choose from them or imagine your own tematical one and write me about it and I'll do a plan and suggest you!
CYCLING TO A HOLY HILL NORTH OF SOFIA
We'll begin our journey from the center of the city, pass by some of the main city sights. We'll go through one of the strangest parts of Sofia which is a mixture of industrial zone gipsy ghetto (don't worry people there are peaceful) and quite neighborhoods. Once we cross the city border a beautiful mountain will meet us.
We will reach a cozy mountain village from where we will take a dusty but spectacular country road. Along that road we’ll have a perfect view over Sofia and it will lead us to our final destination – a hill in the mountain that is a holy place. There is a big iron cross (which lights up in the night time) and the place offers the best opportunity to have a look of all Sofia’s field and surrounding mountains. There are also a tables and benches where we can have lunch.
Price: 20 Euro
CYCLING TO ABANDONED ARMY BASE ON THE TOP OF A MOUNTAIN
Another trip which I'd like to offer people who love cycling and the beautiful nature. This time it's on the other side of Sofia.
So, the starting place will be again wherever you like and then we'll take one of the main bikeways of the city which will lead us to the beggining of a small but beautiful mountain. After a stage of climbing up through a spectacular hills and forests we'll reach the top of the mountain where is situated abandoned army base - live symbol of a cold war. It's really interesting place - so beautiful nature and pleasant view to Sofia, but in the same time a little bit creepy with all of the ruins of the communist army base.
Then in the end is time to raise adrenaline - on the way back we'll take an asphalt road that gives us opportunity for a good speed down the hill.
Price: 20 Euro
CYCLING TRIP NORTH-EAST OF SOFIA
Next cycling trip I want to offer you is longer than previous but also a wonderful one, with different landscapes and interesting places that pass through. The trip starts from the Central railway station of Sofia where we’ll put our bikes on a train that take us out of the capital to the small town around it. In the beginning we’ll ride through quite settlements and our way will pass around and under one of the main highways. After this we’ll go to a beautiful town’s church where there is a rock that grows! Then we’ll pass around the biggest factory in the country from the age of communism and our last target will be an ex-mine which is now an odd lake. I want to warn you that this trip is 60 km and you should be hard biker for it! If you like the trip but don’t want to ride we could do it by my car.
Price:35 euro
CYCLING TO A FARM NEAR SOFIA
The place is small farm in the begining of the mountain where I'm planting different kinds of fruits and vegetables. It's not so long way from the city center to the farm, and when we reach it we could have a fresh lunch there with salad from the garden and homemade wine and rakia (Bulgarian grape brandy). Then we could take a trip up in the mountain - there are a lot of quiet place with mighty woods crystal springsq herbs, mushrooms and great views. We could do it as a few days trip if you like the place. The farm is perfect not only with the fresh food and clear air there but also with a perfect view to Sofia!
