Sofia to Botevgrad
This cycling route will take you from the heart of Sofia, Bulgaria’s vibrant capital, to Botevgrad—a charming town tucked against the western Balkan mountains. You’ll cover just under 89 km, so be sure to set aside plenty of time and pack snacks and water. Expect a serious workout: the ascent totals over 2400 meters and you’ll max out at about 1130 meters elevation, with the terrain shifting between quiet roads, the occasional track, and some paths (about 71% of the route is on less-documented or mixed surfaces).
Leaving Sofia, you’ll swap city streets for quieter countryside roads and beautiful mountain views. Depending on your pace, you might catch glimpses of rural Bulgarian life and the pretty meadows that dot this region. Botevgrad, your destination, is known for its peaceful atmosphere and picturesque central square. The town is a great spot to relax after your ride and maybe treat yourself to something tasty at a local café. If you love a good climb, this route’s for you!
