The project of Vitosha Nature Park for a viewing site in the Kopitoto area of Vitosha Mountain is one of the 38 projects that are fighting for funding from Sofia Municipality under the initiative "Sofia chooses". Residents of the capital city can announce their choice by online voting until tomorrow - November 30. 

So far, the nature park project is among the favourites. If it becomes the winner, the citizens of Sofia will be able to get a magnificent panoramic view of Sofia from an eagle's eye. The site, located at 1345 m above sea level, is expected to become one of the emblematic places for the city, a favorite place for relaxation, taking photos and more.

The aim of the "Sofia chooses" initiative is to encourage the direct participation of citizens in the distribution of the municipal budget.
