Sunday was an amazing day amongst a series of rainy and cold April days - it was sunny, warm and calm and our hike in Baylovo was simply divine.
The fields with autumn crops were already juicy green. The snow covered cap of Vitosha is peaking from the west.
And the fields, designated for spring crops, were prepared for the spring planting.The village of Baylovo is situated in the Sofia valley, surrounded by high mountains on all sides.Baylovo and the white cap of peak Murgash in the Balkan mountainsRila to the southHike info:

We had a very long picnic on the top of Spasova mogila, with a view to the fields. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, the place was completely empty and we could have spent the entire afternoon there, basking in the warm sunshine.
