Getting to Eagle Rock from the airport is not difficult. Just hire a car or take a yellow cab outside the arrivals hall, for the one hour journey to the mountains.

The road from Sofia soon enters a landscape of tree covered hillsides and lakes. It passes by the huge lake Iskar, a freshwater inland sea that provides a wide range of summer activities.

After about 50 km, the road reaches a plateau and you are confronted by the magnificent sight of the snow covered Rila Mountains, the highest peaks in Bulgaria. The town of Samokov lies at their base, through which runs the Beli Iskar river. The road follows this stony river and soon arrives in Beli Iskar village, over the hill is Borovets.

Eagle Rock Apartments is located on the main road from Borovets to the stunning Rila National Park, an excellent place to visit, with rare plants and animal species, attracting visitors all year round.

The centre of Beli Iskar is just off the main road. Cafés and some small shops are available, but once the Super Borovets project is complete, facilities will be greatly expanded. Plans include sports and entertainment centres, ski lifts and numerous ski runs connecting the village to Borovets.

Sofia is 70km away, with Borovets and Samokov both 7km away.
