After numerous ascents of the highest mountains on Earth, the Bulgarian alpine climber Doychin Boyanov devoted his time to a closer and more familiar mountain – Vitosha located near Bulgaria’s capital Sofia. Only a few days ago he presented the book "Vitosha - sports and tourist guide", which was realized with the support of the initiative "Sofia - European Capital of Sport".


The book provides basic information about the opportunities for sports and tourism in Vitosha Mountain, the types of routes, techniques, trails. Particular attention is paid to environmental protection, access to sites and the safety of mountaineers.
