Vratsa, Bulgaria
We took the train from Sofia to Vratsa. Vratsa is a town of about 70,000 on the edge of a plains and the Balkan Mountains. Our hotel was a little worn, but for $36 per night including breakfast, we are not complaining.

Hike in Vitosha Nature Park
Vitosha Nature Park is a mountainous area just outside Sofia with a number of hiking trails. An old rugged looking city bus travels up a winding road to the Aleko ski lodge well up the mountain. From there we hiked up into the alpine and eventually took a chairlift back down.
At the bottom, we visited the Dragalevtsi Monastery and then caught another old bus back into Sofia.
