"Pesako" is a very easy and pleasant eco-trail, starting from the old center of Borovets and ending minutes from the parking lot of the "Sitnyakovo Express" lift, located at the southeastern end of the resort.
The eco-trail itself is a long and wide avenue along which every guest of this wonderful resort can take an unforgettable walk or simply ride a bike.
Along the alley, several sports areas with fitness equipment have been created, as well as several recreation areas with wonderful gazebos.
A main highlight here is the fact that the entire trail is illuminated.
At night, the entire path shines in the light of hundreds of lights.
The "Pesako" eco-trail is an exceptional attraction that captivates young, old and even older girls and boys.
The natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere of Borovets make a walk along the "Pesako" eco-trail a truly unforgettable experience.
Another distinctive feature of the trail are the small streams that flow gracefully, creating a calming and serene environment, and delighting everyone with their sonorous voice.
The path is illuminated throughout the night, which adds a touch of magic to the unadulterated beauty of Rila.
And so - the magic of hundreds of lights, woven into the symphony of bird songs that accompanies visitors during their journey, impart a different sense of tranquility that is increasingly difficult to find nowadays.
The idea for a Rila walk comes from me, and the execution comes from you! I wish everyone a pleasant walk!
How to get to Borovets resort?
Borovets (until June 29, 1942 Chamkoria) is the first resort in Bulgaria. It is located in the Samokov municipality, Sofia region.
According to the National Statistical Institute, as of 2020 the complex has 4,536 beds in 28 accommodation facilities, the number of overnight stays is 338 thousand, and the number of overnight stays is 98 thousand people.
The place dates back as a place for recreation since 1896, when General Tantilov, then a lieutenant colonel, built the first vacation villa, and later Prince Ferdinand built the Tsarska Bistrica Palace.
Following the example of the Bulgarian prince and tsar, a number of other wealthier Bulgarians (mostly bankers and entrepreneurs) from the capital and large cities began to build villas in Borovets for recreation and relaxation. Borovets took shape as a ski resort in the 1960s and 1970s, when it grew with the construction of the first Alpine-style hotels and winter sports facilities.
