Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Sofia do Bozhurishte

This ride starts in Sofia, Bulgaria’s vibrant capital, and takes you northwest to the small town of Bozhurishte, about 27 km away. The route is a nice mix—about half on smooth paved stretches, with some roads and tracks where the surface may be less consistent, so keep an eye out for transitions. The ascent and descent are gentle, making it accessible for intermediate cyclists with some stamina.

You’ll roll through Sofia’s outskirts, gradually leaving the city bustle behind while catching views of the Vitosha Mountains. Much of the route uses quieter roads and cycleways, giving you a pleasant mix of urban and rural scenery. As you approach Bozhurishte, you might spot remnants of the area’s military history—it’s known for its airfield and aviation industry.

Bozhurishte itself is small and peaceful, so it’s perfect for a relaxing finish and maybe a coffee before heading back. This route is great for those looking to escape the city for a scenic, slightly adventurous day trip!
