Zekiritsa

Zekiritsa – a hidden gem in the heart of the Sofia region, offering a quick escape from the urban hustle and a plunge into untouched nature. Situated in the picturesque western part of the Sredna Gora mountain range, this charming mountain is easily accessible from the capital, making it an ideal destination for day trips and weekend adventures. Although not among the highest or most renowned peaks, Zekiritsa captivates with its gentle contours, vast meadows, and ancient forests, providing breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges – the majestic Vitosha, the distant Rila, and the emblematic Stara Planina (Balkan Mountains). The trails here are less trodden, guaranteeing tranquility and a sense of true discovery away from the crowds. Visitors can enjoy gentle hikes through lush meadows, dotted with wild flowers in spring and summer, or ascend to one of the higher points for unforgettable photographic opportunities and endless horizons. The pure mountain air, the song of birds, and the whisper of the wind through the trees create an ideal atmosphere for relaxation and complete rejuvenation. Zekiritsa is a wonderful place for picnics amidst nature, wildlife and bird watching, or simply for meditation in silence. For those who prefer more intense experiences, there are also steeper sections that will test endurance. Discover the magic of Zekiritsa and immerse yourself in a world of serenity, natural beauty, and authentic experiences, just a step away from the city's dynamism.
