Winter Activities
The universally preferred Bistrishko Branishte reserve, as well as the Zlatni Mostove (Golden Bridges) locality are worth enjoying. There, the coniferous trees abound and offer pleasant shelter and verdant backdrop. Combining the trek to Cherni Vruh with a visit to the Zlatni Mostove is a great choice. From the latter there are two paths leading to the peak. Bistrishko Branishte is notable as an area included in the UNESCO biosphere program. There are peculiar stone formations, resembling rivers of stones.
Yet another destination for trekking is Torfeno Branishte. The locality abounds in shrubby vegetation, as well as in moss. It is a reserve which preserves the turf areas in the high areas of the Vitosha mountain. The turf formations are over 2,000 years old, and their thickness reaches 2 meters in places.
Trekking in Vitosha is memorable and rewarding owing to the abundance of flora which adds variety, not only mosses and lichens, but also coniferous trees: pines, spruce, firs, also deciduous trees: beeches, birches, aspens.
