Black Rock
The Black Rock is located in Rila, near Borovets, and is a high cliff rising more than 100 meters above the valley of the river Golyama Slivnitsa, a tributary of the Maritsa River. Its name comes from the fact that it is blackened by weathering. In clear weather, it overlooks the neighboring Rila foothills and the Maritsa Valley.
The route to visit it starts from the center of Borovets. It takes just over an hour of quiet walking and the terrain is mostly flat.
Rancho Rila
Rancho Rila is located about 60 km from Sofia, 3 km from Samokov, in the village of Dospey. The place is extremely beautiful, with a wonderful view of Vitosha, Verila, and Rila. Here is offered riding for beginners, advanced, hourly riding, day trips, or trekking with the possibility of staying overnight in huts or guest houses, riding for children, as well as organizing children’s birthday parties. The horses that are kept at the ranch are crosses of the Arabian, Risista, and Danube breeds, as we believe that these horses have the qualities needed for trekking in the high mountains. The animals are calm, and friendly and have been selected to meet the preferences of all riders.
