Hallo Dirk, das wird in mehrerlei Sicht schwierig: a) die Verbindung: Du müsstest von Kostenez mit dem Zug nach Sofia fahren, von dort mit dem Bus nach Blagoevgrad und dort in den Bus nach Rila umsteigen b) am Kloster gibt es nur wenige Parkplätze (die glaub ich auch nicht fürs Dauerparken vorgesehen sind) c) Bulgarien ist ein armes Land - und ein ausländischer PKW (oder auch ein Mietwagen), der länger parkt, ist ein ziemlich attraktives Ziel für Einbruch / Diebstahl. Die wohl beste Variante wäre es, den PKW auf einem bewachten Parkplatz z.B. am Flughafen Sofia zu parken und sowohl An- wie auch Abreise zur Tour mit Bus & Bahn zu bewältigen. Gruß Karsten
