The village of Govedartsi lies at the foot of the Rila Mountains, near the Cherni Iskar River. It is the starting point for many walking/mountain biking routes into the mountains including the famous Seven Rila Lakes. There is a wealth of natural beauty to admire and enjoy and lovely, easier walks for those not so energetic amongst us.The river provides many beautiful spots to enjoy picnics and relax, perhaps doing a little fishing.
10 minutes drive from Govedartsi, on the way to Borovets, is the town of Samokov. This is a typical Bulgarian town with a wealth of real Bulgarian character.It is also considerably cheaper than the tourist resort of Borovets. It has many shops and a fascinating market is held every Monday morning, even in the freezing cold of winter. It has several brand new, large supermarkets stocking everything, which some people may prefer to the smaller shops. Eating out here is incredibly cheap too!
