About this experience

This 3-day tour is divided into 3 stages of 50 km. each.

Day 1.

We start the tour from the Bulgarian capital Sofia, climb the quiet corner and descend to Vladaya after which there is not much of a climbing (pushing) and we are going out to the water intake reservoir. From there we have 10 kilometers of wonderful forest path to the village of Kladnitsa. From there we continue to Studena Dam and after that there is an asphalted road to the village of Bosnek. Very interesting part here is that we ride along the river Struma and we dig moderately to Chuiptlovo. This is our first day which you are going to enjoy a lot with our professional mountain bike guide.

We spend the night in Bosnek or in a nearby village.

Day 2.

After breakfast we start with a descent to Yarlovo. Amazing wide meadows and views of the Rila mountains. We continue to Brezite locality and then to Zheleznitsa, Bistritsa, Simeonovo, Dragalevtsi and through Boyana we reach Sofia.

The second day is easier and for moderately prepared people it can be made in 5-6 hours, for the first it is good to have 7-8 hours due to the larger displacement and the more difficult terrain. The route is surmountable for intermediate cyclists and passes through settlements easily accessible for logistics and assistance.

Superb second day which you are going to love. Overnight in Bankya.

Day 3.

We start after breakfast with a walk in the field of Bankya, mountain biking on rural roads to Bozhurishte, Gurmazovo, from there we return to the town of Bankya and on an old paved road we reach the road to the Klisura Monastery. To the top there is not a big, but a steep climb. The route can end here or on wheels to pass through the center of Bankya.

That’s the real Bulgaria! You shall meet amazing people and characters in the villages typical for this region of the country.

All logistics are done with VW T5 (transporter) or Toyota Hilux. Maximum number of people in a group - 4.
