Байк: Ботев и шоколад 4.0 2026

The 4.0 edition of the classic "chocolate" ride starts from Botev peak, heading into the highest part of the Balkan mountains. This event, with its charming absurdity, launches from the bare peak towards the Karlovo Rose Valley, promising a serious descent despite its sweet-sounding name. The 20 km trail from Botev peak is one of those legendary descents, boasting about 2000 negative meters and counted among the longest trails in Bulgaria. Your hands will be working almost as much as your legs on this path. The journey includes a stop at h. "Mandrata" known for its hospitality, with the finish line in the Karlovo Rose Valley offering the perfect spot to ponder if the chocolate was a reward or a warning.
