If chairlift Dragalevtsi working that is one of the best way to explore the middle part of Vitosha. Even that track is 15-18 km, I made it with my 10 years old niece. In summer that is the best way to Sofia from the top.
The start of the route is the center of Dragalevtsi and goes up to chairlift. Working on the chairlift is complicated, so if not work you have a little bit more that one hour to reach Bai Krastio – middle lift station and restaurant.
From here in South-SouthWest go up to Kominite (Chimney) cliff – one of the most popular places if you a climber and want to climb on Vitosha. Rock is nice and have a lot of climbing route for beginners and most advanced climbers. When we go round and on steep path go to the top of the cliff, start amazing panorama to Sofia. A little bit after Kominite have an important juncture. If go ahed will reach a path from Aleko to Momina skala on Plateau, another route that I call – Vitosha Panorama. If go right on a small steep path going down after 2 km is small peak Kikish with another panoramic view to Sofia. On this peak, archaeologists say that they have a Thracian sanctuary. Near is not working Shelter Kikish. 2 km after the shelter is Kamen del hut with tasty food and pleasant benches. One more kilometer to Esperanto hut and from there one more to Boyana waterfall.

From here Sofia and Boyana neighborhood is one hour – one hour and a half on green marked the path.
