This tailormade horseriding tour and holiday will make you discover some of the most beautiful natural landscapes in Bulgaria, Rila mountains. Rila is the highest mountian range in Bulgaria and the Balkans, its highest peak is Musala, 2825 m.

The name Rila is presumably of Thracian origin and it is thought to mean " well- watered mountains", because on Rila glacial lakes abound (around 200) together with hot springs. Here you'll find marvellous Borovets tourist complex, established at the end of the 19th century as a hunting territory for the Bulgarian king. The area then grew over the years and is nowadays a ski-lovers resort. Borovets is situated on the foothiill of Musala peak, at 1350 m above sea level, among woods and ancient pines, the complex is easily accessible from the road, 73 km from Sofia and 126 km from Plovdiv and the nearest town of Samokov is only 10 km away. Borovets is not just a famous winter resort, but also a summer tourist attraction due to the many options for horseriding and trekking.

With this travel program we want to offer you the unique chance for a horseriding holiday in the breath-takingly beautiful Rila Mountains.
