Summer in or near Borovetz

Need an apartment near Borovetz, near a lake or stream for a week in August 2009. Looking for hikes etc.. with kids.

Don't know of anywhere personally, but I would look at the Govedarci area. It's a picturesque area with river and access to the Rila National Park, with hiking trails for all standards. Very Happy

The hotels will be very cheap as well... try the flora apartments - hiking up to Musala is great..

re: Summer in or near Borovetz

To be near a lake or stream, you need to be outside Borovets. Only river I've seen there is when the snow melts and water runs down the main road Exclamation Exclamation

But it's worth pricing up accommodation in Boro itself as a comparison. Think you'd find restaurants will still be more expensive than those in villages near Boro.

Thank you for the quick replies. I'll look at your suggestions. I don't mind staying in one of the vilagses on self catering.

If you do go SC, there's a large supermarket, Billa, on the left as you enter Samokov Town from Boro Very Happy

If you google for info on the area, try looking at Malyovitsa, it's the most poplular place in BG for high mountain hiking. It's a bit further on from Govedarci but there's also some lower hiking trails through beautiful scenery.

I have still to see a Rila Brown Bear and I personally prefer to see the scenery from the back of a horse or a mountain bike but there is so much choice ...
