Plana Mountain is one of the most popular biking destinations among Sofia residents. The reason is the diversity of tracks and difficulty levels. Its proximity to Sofia also features among the pros.
The mountain has several marked paths but you can always experiment. Bikers are constantly adding new routes to the map.
If you have not biked in the region, it would be best to start at the village of Pasarel, moving towards Piova Bouka hut.
Some of the more popular routes start from the center of Zheleznitsa village. From there, you could follow the flow of Ergoulia River or head to Diavolskia Most. These routes have medium difficulty level. Parts of the path are rather easy to take but others might be challenge even for experienced bikers.
Unfortunately, motorcyclists use some of the paths and hinder the passage of bikers.
Some of the routes take four to five hours to complete. Make sure to have food and water, in case you get tired along the way.
