Rila Monastery is considered to be one of Bulgaria's most holy sites and is UNESCO listed. It is situated in the Rila Mountains in the deep valley of the Riska River. Apparently named after the hermit Ivan of Rila from 876 - 946 AD. The Monastery was founded in the 10th century and was the spiritual and cultural center during the 12th to 14th century. The richly engraved gates lead into a stunning view of the Monastery. Our first visit was to the Museum which housed some amazing artifacts such as old books, beautifully embroidered robes belonging to the clergy and an incredible wooden cross that was intricately carved. We then viewed the stunning external vivid coloured paintings covering the external walls, the interior is equally as stunning but you cannot photograph the interior. Once outside we could see the towers where guards use to protect the site, around the edge of the complex are the monks rooms. The building is well maintained and painted with a series of wooden stair cases and balconies. It is well worth a visit.

What a fabulous experience in Borovets. We were a family of 3 - all who have ridden before to different levels. However, no experience whatsoever is required in order to enjoy a trip out into th Bulgarian Wilderness. The horses are just gorgeous - all fit and really healthy and they are loved as if they are family. They are all calm and obedient and yet those more experienced riders can have a fab time - we had a lovely trot whenever the terrain allowed it - you can have a guide rope if you prefer or are nervous. Lots of information about the animals and wildlife in Bulgaria. We saw 3 gorgeous deer just feeding by the pathside. There was lots of snow and so the trails looked a bit like Narnia!! So picturesque. Would highly recommend and great value. Will definitely go again when we return to Borovets. Love the Wharton family xxx

A Bulgarian Orthodox cathedral in Sofia (Bg). Built in Neo-Byzantine style, it serves as the cathedral church of the Patriarch of Bulgaria and it is one of the largest Christian church buildings, as well as one of Sofia's symbols and primary tourist attractions. There is a museum of Bulgarian icons inside the cathedral crypt, part of the National Art Gallery.
