Off-road между Осиковица и Лъга и по долината на Малък Искър

This route is a variant of the circuit around the valleys northeast of Botevgrad. From Botevgrad to Osikovitza, you ride along the old road from Yablanitsa - through Pravets and Osikovska Lăkavica. In Osikovitza, there is a right turn towards the municipality. There, you turn left onto the road to 'Heavenly Pastures', but at the first intersection on the right, you take this road. Almost immediately, the ascent begins. The road is paved in some places, concrete in others, and gradually gains over 500 meters of elevation. You pass by orchards of plums and here and there houses. At one point, you need to abandon the main road - this spot is a fork - the main road goes to the right, but you need to take the left dirt path. Almost immediately, you enter thickets - the road is overgrown, but after some distance, the path clears and you can ride comfortably. You skip down a slope from the east and come out at a place where there is a post in a clearing. From here follows a descent with various slopes and many turns. At some houses, there is a fork and you need to turn left - to get out of the mountain. The descent continues, and you come down to Luga. Up to here on the black road. Then follows a prolonged ride on asphalt through Luga, Malý Iskýr, Djurovo, Vidrare, Kalugerovo and from there back to Pravets/Botevgrad.

A shorter variant of this route is if you turn right in Luga and reach the fork for Pravets. From there follows an ascent and then a descent to Pravets and then Botevgrad.
