Borovets, the oldest and most famous Bulgarian mountain resort, is situated on the northern slopes of the Rila Mountain at an altitude of 1350 meters. The resort enjoys a breathtaking location huddled amongst age-old pine woods right at the foot of Mount Moussala (2925 m), the highest peak on the Balkans. Only 72 km away from Sofia and just 126 km away from Plovdiv, Borovets is easily accessible at all times of year. Check here for directions to Borovets.
Established at the end of the 19th century as a hunting place for the Bulgarian kings, Borovets has developed into a modern year round resort. |
