Activity itinerary

Saeva Dupka

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Leave Sofia behind and head into the heart of the Balkan Mountains and the peaceful countryside of northern Bulgaria. Begin with a visit to the remarkable Saeva Dupka Cave, one of Bulgaria’s most impressive cave systems. Explore the cave’s enormous chambers, fascinating rock formations, and excellent acoustics. Often called the “underground cathedral” of Bulgaria, the cave reveals a magical world of stalactites and stalagmites shaped over millions of years. The cave is about 400 metres long and the tour there takes about 1 hour and you will be able to take some amazing photos! Please have in mind that the temperature inside is constantly around 10 – 14 degrees, so even in the summer season you will need to bring a jacket or sweatshirt with you!

Yablanitsa

  • 1h
After exploring the cave, stop for a lunch break in a traditional restaurant in the village of Yablanitsa (lunch not included).

Glozhene Monastery

  • 1h
After lunch, continue through scenic mountain landscapes to the picturesque Glozhene Monastery, dramatically perched on a rocky hilltop, overlooking the surrounding valleys. Founded in the 13th century, the monastery offers breathtaking panoramic views, peaceful surroundings, and a glimpse into Bulgaria’s rich Orthodox heritage and medieval history. In the monastery, you will also have around one hour to explore its buildings and to take memorable photos. In the late afternoon, return to Sofia. This day trip is ideal for travellers seeking a mix of nature, culture, photography, and authentic Bulgarian atmosphere away from the busy tourist routes!
