Beschrijving
Discover the Rila Mountains on a guided hike from Sofia. Explore the Malyovitsa area, learn about the region's geology and wildlife, and try a traditional lunch in Govedartsi village.
Begin your adventure with a morning departure from Sofia and a scenic drive into the breathtaking landscapes of the Rila National Park. Within about 2 hours, reach the starting point in the famous Malyovitsa mountaineering area.
The trail gradually climbs through ancient spruce forests, crystal-clear streams, and glacial valleys. As you ascend toward Maliovitsa Hut (1,960 m), your guide will share stories about the history of Bulgarian alpinism and the natural wonders of the region.
After a short refreshing break at the hut, the hike continues higher into the alpine zone, where dramatic granite walls and sweeping mountain views surround the path leading toward Malyovitsa Peak. Your endpoint will be the first “terrace”, which is reached after 30 more minutes’ walk after the hut, and from there you will be able to see breathtaking panoramic views.
After you take some memorable photos, return via the same path. After the walk, continue to a traditional Bulgarian restaurant, situated in the Govedartsi village, where you will have the opportunity to try local home-made products and to enjoy a delicious lunch.
Finally, take a relaxing return ride to Sofia and arrive back at around 6:30 PM.
