From Sofia: Private Excursion To Vitosha Mountain And Pancharevo Lake

The tour starts at 10 am with a pick up from your hotel. The Pancharevo lake is about 30-minute drive from the town. Around it, you can simply walk and enjoy the beautiful nature, away from the noise of the big city.

There you can walk and submerge in the beautiful nature, an hour or so and you will be completely restored both physically and emotionally. Around the lake, there are hiking trails, several park areas with coffee shops and restaurants.

What you may just opt for is a lunch at a restaurant overlooking the magnificent lake. All restaurants offer a cozy atmosphere and delicious Bulgarian dishes – grilled meat, homemade potatoes, fresh salads, fried fish and cold beer. The walk around the lake takes about 1 hour.

In the afternoon you will head to Vitosha which is the first park in Bulgaria and on the Balkan Peninsula. The territory of the mountain includes Vitosha nature park that encompasses the best known and most frequently visited parts. The foothills of Vitosha shelter resort quarters of Sofia and Knyazhevo quarter which has mineral springs.

There are so many paths from which you can choose to hike that are ever so pictures and unforgettable. Not only that, you will have the chance to see Sofia from above as well. The walk in the mountain could be between 1 and 2 hours, with average difficulty.

The return in Sofia is between 3 pm and 4 pm.
