Our final part of the itinerary is spectacular. Bankya is the very high end of a living quarter of Sofia with wonderful houses mixed with mountain landscape. The second day is easier and for moderately prepared people it can be made in 5-6 hours, for the first it is good to have 7-8 hours due to the larger displacement and the more difficult terrain. The route is surmountable for intermediate cyclists and passes through settlements easily accessible for logistics and assistance. Superb second day which you are going to love. Overnight in Bankya.
