Golo Burdo 2020

Saturday we visited a new to us place - Golo Burdo mountain and the natural preserve Ostritza. I was enchanted and I can't wait to return there! The place was like a garden, so beautiful, fresh, green and full of flowers. 10 km up and down hills, along forest and meadow trails.
Few words and plenty of photos:

Golo Burdo Mountain

Lately all the sunny and warm days have been happening during the work days, while the weekends are rainy and cold, isn't that a bummer :) But yesterday was an exception, a clear and warm Saturday and though husband had to work, our FB hiking group had planned an event, so off I went to Golo Burdo mountain. We had a phenomenal hike, 16 km from Radomir railway station through most of Golo Burdo, climbing four of its peaks, to Pernik railway station and back to Sofia by train.
