Pancharevo Lake near Sofia city
One of the greatest things about Sofia’s location is that that you can easily escape the city in less than half an hour and find yourself in the Vitosha mountain, one of the small villages around or the beautiful Pancharevo lake. All of these options are perfect for recharging or simply getting away from the busy city or the summer heat.
Where is Pancharevo Lake located?
Only 15 km away from the very heart of the city, the Pancharevo lake is easily accessed by car, bike and even public transport. This gives you the opportunity to go there on a whim when you are bored on a Saturday afternoon or just want to have a nice walk with a pleasant view. If you have time you can drive a little bit further and reach the Pasarel dam.
Pancharevo lake activities
This is the perfect place in the summer to practice different water sports. At the central part of the lake, you will find a small port where you can rent a boat, paddle boat or a canoe. Prices vary between 4lv (2 euros) to 14 lv(depends for how long you will rent the paddle boat). Close by you will see a rowing school base camp. If you like fishing, there are a lot of spots along the lake where you can do that.
Unfortunately, you cannot swim in the lake and you probably wouldn’t want to as its waters are not that clean and clear, but there is a swimming pool called “Koralite” with a view of both the lake and the forest .
Just next to the water is the “Lodkite” (translation: the Boats) restaurant. There you can have a refreshing beer and “shopska salad” or “tarator” during the summer. It is a very modest place with only the basic facilities when it comes to the interior, but when you are tired after canoeing, for example, you will be more than happy to have a lunch on a table along the water. Alternatively, you can try “Lebed” (The Swan) restaurant with its beautiful garden that often houses weddings and special occasions. The venue is much fancier with a polite service and refined menu.
