Knyazhevo forest, Urban park in Knyazhevo district, Bulgaria.
Knyazhevo forest is an urban woodland at the base of Vitosha Mountain with many walking trails that wind through thick vegetation. The paths connect different parts of the forest, passing through shaded groves and more open sections.
This forest became part of Sofia's urban area as Knyazhevo gradually shifted from a small village to a residential neighborhood over many decades. The woodland was preserved despite the surrounding residential development.
The forest serves as a gathering place for local community events and outdoor activities, connecting residents with nature within the city limits.
You can reach the forest easily by bus or tram on several routes that connect to the main entrance. The trails are marked to help you navigate through the different sections without getting lost.
Natural mineral springs located nearby create an unusual combination where forest walks connect with access to therapeutic warm waters. Visitors often discover this link between woodland exploration and natural wellness activities in one location.
