Kostenets

Kostenets lies in the upper Maritsa valley, where the northern foothills of the Rila Mountains rise behind the town and forested slopes lead toward higher mountain country. Set in Sofia Province southeast of the capital, it is a practical base for exploring a less urban side of western Bulgaria, with Rila’s wooded terrain close at hand. The nearby Kostenets resort is known for its mineral springs, a long-standing part of the area’s spa tradition. Rather than a major urban centre, the town has the measured pace of a mountain-edge community shaped by the valley and its access to the range.
