Points forts

This small - group horse riding adventure offers a rare opportunity to experience one of Bulgaria’s most picturesque mountain landscapes far from the crowds, just a short drive from Sofia. A key highlight is the ride along the ridges of Lisets Mountain, where expansive panoramic views unfold over the rolling green hills and deep valleys of the Balkan Mountains. Another unforgettable moment of the tour is the approach to the spectacular Glozhen Monastery. Dramatically perched on a sheer rock cliff, the monastery appears almost suspended above the valley. The tour is designed as a small group experience (maximum 6 - 7 riders), ensuring a relaxed atmosphere, personalized attention, and plenty of time to connect with both the horses and the surrounding nature. Riding: 4 - 5 hours / Note: This tour is suitable both for beginners and experienced riders.

About Sofia

Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, lies below Vitosha mountain, mixing Roman ruins, golden-domed churches, mineral springs and a busy café culture.

Sofia sits in a high basin at the foot of Mount Vitosha, and its centre layers Roman Serdica, Orthodox Bulgaria and the Ottoman and Soviet eras. The gold-domed Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, completed in the early twentieth century, is the city's best-known building. Close by are the fourth-century rotunda of St George, the Banya Bashi Mosque and the remains of Roman streets that show through glass in the metro stations.

Top-ranked sights in Sofia: Rila Monastery, Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Ivan Vazov National Theatre.
