A real adventure bike trip back in time on the southern slopes of Vitosha mountain. Explore the less popular south side of Vitosha mountain on a bike, submerge in ancient times in one of the newest tourist attraction in Bulgaria - the reconstructed Mali Tsari grad fortress and enjoy a refreshing swim in the mineral swimming pools in the area.


We pick you up from your hotel and drive on a mountain road in Vitosha mountain up to Zheleznitsa village. Here you get on the bikes for a short climb up to Yarema area at 1500m. The rest is a pleasant descend in forested area and vast meadows leading to a big valley with many scattered villages. Most of the tracks are isolated asphalt roads with no or very slow traffic. We stop at Tsari Mali Grad fortress dating back from 3-6 century where we make a visit of the local ethnographic museum, do a ride on the attraction train to the top of the fortress hill and enjoy a lunch in the area.


Later we continue with some more biking among vast potato fields and farm lands and end in Samokov town famous for the best potatoes in Bulgaria and the prominent Bulgarian icon painting school from 19c. On the way we can stop at a local swimming pool with mineral water for sunbathing and relaxation. Transfer back to Sofia passing by the biggest dam in Bulgaria - Iskar dam.
