South of Sofia, Mt Vitosha gives way with barely a pause to the Rila Mountains , an area of wild highlands enclosing fertile valleys. If you're heading down the main southbound route towards Greece you'll only see the lowland town of Dupnitsa and the western fringes of the range, although this is the best direction from which to approach Rila Monastery , the finest in Bulgaria. The region's ski resorts and hiking centres are easier to reach via the town of Samokov , which has good transport links with Sofia.
