Ilienski krast

The Ilientsi Cross, majestically towering over the southwestern districts of Sofia, is more than just a landmark; it’s an emblematic viewpoint offering breathtaking vistas of the capital and its surrounding mountains. Situated on the northern slope of Vitosha Mountain, near the neighborhoods of Knyazhevo and Gorna Banya, it’s an easily accessible destination for a short nature walk, suitable for all ages. The cross itself is monumental and has served as a significant landmark for years, with its history tied to local legends and symbolism. Reaching it is a delightful experience.
