Technically easy and super beautiful, starting from and ending at the Gorna Banya subway station. It passes through forests, open fields ("Bonsovi polyani"), Gorna Banya monastery, and the Dupevitsa peak (the highest in the Lyulin mountain). It's amazing in autumn! It's a bit long, but the loop could be shortened, e.g. by just going to the monastery only. Done on 2021-10-29. Actual route, done as a trail run: https://www.strava.com/activities/6183083504 (There is good forest path that avoids some walking through the town and you might want to use it.)

    Nice circular hike that boasts wonderful views on Sofia! Perfect for a sunny day as you walk a the circle around Dupevitsa summit mainly in the shade. On Dupevitsa summit we found a little concrete platform, perfect for a break enjoying the stunning view! I found the steep ascent on an widely overgrown path between km 4.4 and 5.7 a little challenging. To my humble opinion, the long walk to Gorna Banya after completing the circle isn't really that interesting, I would rather go back to starting point at Cherniya Kos bus station.
