描述
Ride the Balkan’s highest railway! Explore alpine Belmeken Lake at 1,900m & a retro train journey. Enjoy a boutique wine tasting or relaxing thermal pools. Pre-booked fees & small group (max 8) incl.
High Altitude Adventure
Your day starts with a drive into the heart of the Rila mountains to reach Belmeken Lake. At 1,900m, this turquoise reservoir offers a pristine alpine landscape. It’s the perfect spot for photos of rugged peaks and high-mountain fresh air before our heritage journey begins.
The Alpine Railway
We reach Avramovo, the highest railway station in the Balkans (1,267m). Here, you board the legendary narrow-gauge retro train. Sit back for a 1.2-hour journey through spiral tunnels and hidden valleys—a route famously ranked by The Guardian as a top European rail experience.
Curated Afternoon: Wine or Water
We have pre-arranged your afternoon activity so you can simply relax and enjoy. Choose your preference:
Boutique Wine Tasting: Visit a local estate in the Thracian Valley for a guided tasting of premium Bulgarian wines, including the bold local Mavrud, paired with regional appetizers. (Available all year).
Thermal Mineral Pools: Dip into the outdoor thermal pools of Velingrad, the "Thermal Capital." A natural, refreshing way to unwind before the return to Sofia. (Available May – Sept).

重要信息
Mountain Climate: Belmeken Lake is at 1,900m. Even in July, it can be 10°C cooler than Sofia. Please bring a light jacket or windbreaker.
Comfortable Footwear: We will be walking on uneven mountain terrain and cobblestone station platforms. Wear sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes.
Authentic Retro Train: This is a heritage narrow-gauge railway. The train is vintage and slow-moving by design (no AC). It is a nostalgic cultural experience, not a high-speed commute.
Thermal Pool Essentials: If choosing the thermal option, please bring your own swimwear, flip-flops, and a towel, as these are not provided at the outdoor pools.
Cash for Lunch: While activity fees are covered, lunch is at your own expense. Most local spots in Velingrad prefer cash, though some take cards.
We pick up from a location in Sofia center - outside Banya Bashi Mosque on Maria Luisa Blvd, opposite McDonalds near Cerdica Central Metro Station.
