BOROVETS SUMMER ACTIVITIES
Borovets Summer Activities
THINGS TO DO IN AND AROUND BOROVETS
Summer Season:
Sporting activities
Outdoor Pools: If you wish to experience true Bulgaria and visit in the summer, one of the local attractions is the outdoor pool in the village of Belchin Bani, which is about 20 km away from Borovets.
The pool is filled from the mineral springs which are famous for their healing qualities. Being a large outdoor complex, there is lots to do there.
Horseback-Riding: Horse riding is available in many places around Borovets, all of them offering stunning rides
through mountain forests and catering for all abilities. Contact us for details.
Fishing: There is a choice of fishing options around Borovets. You can take your pick from the more traditional form of fishing (by taking your chances in the Iskar Dam) or alternatively, visit the local fish farm which is located between Samokov to Borovets, where you are guaranteed a
catch! You will have to pay for it afterwards but at least your supper will be sorted for the night!
Hiking: Bulgaria boasts some of the best mountain scenery in Europe, with many unspoilt areas in the
Borovets Rila Mountain range.
If you are willing (and able!) you can also try to climb the Musala Peak, which is the highest peak on the Balkans. You will not need to worry about a guide as there is an easy-to-follow tourist route.
Only 20 km away from Borovets is yet another peak to ‘conquer’ – the Malyovitsa peak, where you can also enjoy rock climbing.
Mountain Biking: If you are keen on biking we can also offer you a mountain biking trip. Numerous places offer
mountain bikes for rent and there are several trails up the mountain.
Lake Iskar: This is yet another local destination where you will be able to enjoy the beauty and breathtaking tranquillity of the mountains in the summer. Lake Iskar is just a few minutes drive from Borovets and offers summer water-sports, fishing, mountain sun-bathing and swimming.
Para-gliding: Another sport to try is paragliding in the mountains near the Seven Rila Lakes where you will
be spoilt with the magnificent views. Please contact us for details
Golf: Golf fanatics can enjoy the golf course near the town of Dolna Banya ‘Ibar’ – a small town about 50 km from Borovets. There you will also find a swimming pool, football field, tennis courts, basketball and volleyball courts.
Mountains in the summer
The Seven Lakes: We can arrange for you to take a safari in the lakes. These are situated high in the Rila Mountain and not many places can offer you such astonishing beauty and serenity. This is something you definitely shouldn’t miss during your stay in Bulgaria!
Rural Life: You can also visit the neighbouring villages such as Beli Iskar, Mala Tsarkva and Govedartsi.
These villages have kept their Bulgarian traditions, with churches, small restaurants and cafés
and peace and calmness where you can appreciate the traditional Bulgarian spirit.
