Did you know that Connect Living is just 15 minutes away from Vitosha mountain – the fourth highest mountain in the whole country? A refreshing dose of mountain tourism is the perfect option if you have time to spare and are thirsty for an alternative of city walks. In addition to spending time surrounded by nature which always helps to recharge, you can also devote the day to a lot of fun sports activities. Here’s a few ideas:
1. Mountain trek
Who doesn't love a walk in the mountains? Hiking around Vitosha mountain is suitable for everyone, whether sporty or not, precisely because there are so many trails and options for both experienced climbers and irregular weekend visitors. Trekking in the mountain has become a very common activity for the residents of the country’s capital, looking for peace and quiet in nature. Playing the role of a long and effective training session, hiking is suitable for both groups of friends and colleagues, and families with children.
2. Mountain biking
Vitosha mountain offers countless opportunities for mountain biking. From the point of view of physical activity, riding a mountain bike can tire you more than a normal trek or jog, but on the other hand - the load on the joints and the risk of injury is lower. This sport offers something for everyone. If you are a city cyclist and not a fan of high speeds on uneven terrain, you can take one of the hiking trails, which are relatively flat and well-trodden. And fans of extreme adventure and adrenaline can take their own way through the forest to get down to the city.
3. Jogging
Running in the mountains is a great way to diversify the familiar route you take for sports. The load on the body is more natural and effective than on the treadmill in the gym. By jumping over rocks, roots and steep slopes, mountain jogging also helps to improve coordination, balance and flexibility. And let's not forget the pleasure of the beautiful view when you reach the top. Running in the mountains has a huge added value and you will certainly not go wrong if you have the opportunity to take time for this type of activity
