Vitosha is the fourth highest mountain in Bulgaria, just over 6 miles outside the capital city of Sofia. This nationally declared Nature Park, established in 1934, is the only one of its kind on the Balkan Peninsula. It is also the only dome-shaped mountain within the country. There are two nature park reserves on the Vitosha Mountain, the Torfeno Branishte and the Bistrishko Branishte. Both are excellent locales for trekkers, whether they are looking for a relaxed hike or one that requires a lot of vigor. It is also an ideal locale for skiers and snowboarders at all levels, from bunny hills to advanced slopes.
