Five Eco Paths Renewed in Town of Bankya
The Sofia Municipality renewed five of a total of 18 eco paths set in the area of the town of Bankya.
The paths, whose total length is over 37 km, are located in Lyulin Mountain and are marked with signs and arrows so that they are accessible both to the locals and to Bankya’s guests.
The area of Bankya is famous for its mineral springs and is a recognized resort and balneological center and now the guests of the town can also take walks in the mountain, the Mayor of Bankya Region Rangel Markov said at the opening ceremony.
The routes of the paths are easy and each of them can be crossed within two and a half hours. During their walks tourists can see small animals like hares, squirrels, hedgehogs, and even foxes and wild cats. There are many different types of birds as well.
Some of the sights in the area include the favorite place of rest of one of Bulgaria’s most notable writers – Ivan Vazov, as well as a few functioning monasteries and churches – the St. Trinity Monastery, the Klisura Monastery, the St. St. Cyril and Methodius Monastery and the St. Petka Monastery.
