We begin the day with an epic train ride in the beautiful valley of the Iskar river, just minutes away from Sofia. We get off the train in a small picturesque village in the Balkan mountain and we start riding up on our mountain bikes.
By lunchtime we arrive at a chalet, famous for it’s organic raspberry wine and delicious food, produced right there in the mountain.
After lunch, we hit the trails on a cross-country ride back to our starting point, where we take the train back to Sofia.
This daytrip is great for the ones looking at exploring a little bit more of Bulgaria and visiting the countryside, without getting too far from Sofia.
