We stayed in a small hotel in the village of Ognyanovo with a hot mineral swimming pool on the banks of a feeder of Mesta (Nestos) River.
On our way to Ognyanovo we stopped at Bansko. It is a town and ski resort in southwestern Bulgaria, located at the foot of Pirin at an altitude of 925 m above sea level.
On the second day we visited the Village of Leshten. It is situated in the Western Rhodopes with a beautiful view to Pirin Mountain. About 15 restored houses are in typical old Bulgarian Renaissance style.
On the third day we went to the monastery St.George near the village of Hadjidimovo and the town of Gotse Delchev which was founded in the 19 century. An old icon of St.George was found and the monastery was built. The town of Gotse Delchev has been at the same place since the10 century and was built near an old Roman town.
On our way back to Sofia we stopped at Blagoevgrad. It is located in the valley of the Struma River at the foot of Rila and Pirin Mountains. Bagoevgrad features a pedestrian downtown called Varosha with preserved 19th century architecture.
WE HAD A REALLY GREAT TIME!
