Surroundings

Hotel Villa Magus**** is located in Vitosha Nature Park, and the route there is dotted with stunning views. The nearest village is Kladnitsa. There are numerous nature trails around the hotel. While the northern slopes of the mountain are quite crowded with both cars and tourists, the southwestern slopes are not only quieter but also much more beautiful.

Just a few meters above the hotel lies the natural phenomenon known as the “Golden Bridges” in the northwestern (Selimishki) section of Vitosha Mountain. The enormous oval-shaped syenite (moraine) boulders along the wide riverbed are impressive. They completely cover the current, the presence of which one can only guess at from the muffled roar. Most moraines are covered with yellowish lichens, which take on a golden hue when warmed by the sun. This is one of the explanations for the name of the area. Others associate the name with the presence of gold-bearing sand in the river, which is also a fact. The area also impresses with its massive fir trees, centuries-old beech trees, and beautiful birches.

Also within walking distance are the Selimitsa Hut (10 min), the Ostritsa Hut (1 hour), the Edelweiss Hut (1 hour and 25 min), Selimitsa Peak (1 hour), and Cherni Vrah (3 hours and 30 min)
