Hi There Hive & Actifit Family,
Today it was a very colorful low mountain stroll with some running on my way back home, since I did not take my car on purpose, to have an incentive to go back home running.
First we visited the Dragalevski Monastery to pray and wish fortune for us and our family and friends. Drank some water and the hike was on!
We wanted to take a more flat terrain with almost no denivelation so that we could just stroll and have a good time but not exhaust ourselves. A perfect route was this eco trail from Dragalevski to Boyana.
These days, the temperature is awfully high and staying in the city is equal to boiling yourself alive. I needed a getaway with fresh air and shadow. So this way really the best trail. It was 100% under shadow of trees and really cool weather.
An image of Sofia city from where we are. Beautiful scenery.
Some moraines and my friends still in a very good mood :)
The trail continues, and so the beauty of the nature.
After dodging some trees, leaves, and high grass obsticles we finally reach the Boyana lake, more like a swamp but I guess lake sounds more aristocratic. Home to all kind of frogs, salamanders, tritons, etc.
Some more shots of the swamp. The mirroring trees and the greeny atmoshpere makes it oddly beautiful and charmant.
We had a little steeper descend but we finally reached the outskirts of Boyana and the end of the trail. Time to go back.
We passed by The Cheshma - The spring. Famous place where the people pour lots of water for home needs. Restock them for months sometimes. This water is special because it contains ions and is very beneficial and healthy. We felt immediately the change when we drank from it.
Passed by a small Chapel on our way back to Boyana Lake.

Our day ended up in the garden playing some golf. We improvised the locations where we should tee off without the driver because the distance obviously is not so big :D We had tons of fun and we also ate some barbeque, I was so hungry that I forgot to take pictures of the food and the the place. This has not happened for the first time. Not sure why, but I always forget to record my food brakes. I am so obsessed with eating :D
Thank you for checking out my blog :)
Stay happy, be peaceful!
Namaste
