Definitely the best thing I did in Sofia. The guide was very knowledgeable and I definitely recommend this as a great hike! Just make sure you bring good shoes!

It was a 2 hour drive through an alpine spring landscape before we parked the car and headed for the gorge. My guide asked me if I was used to hiking – No. Did I want to use a hiking stick – never even seen one! We walked up an increasingly steep slope, following a narrow path through the trees above the gorge. We then descended down rubble, soil steps which lead to a narrow, short, basic wooden bridge across the gorge. The climb back up the other side was steeper and more strenuous, but the view from that side was equally as good through the gorge. The guide asked if I’d like to cross over further along the stream, but that meant more scrambling up and down the steep hillside, so instead we returned to our car via the forest road. Basically, the view is wonderful but you really need to be fit and used to hiking to walk the whole gorge.
