The challenge to Kostenets is as follows - we want to spend a day in the region and when we return we want to recommend it to friends. As simple as that. Check out the video below to see what we stumbled upon during our day in Kostenets and if the mission was accomplished.

So, to sum it up: What we did was to:
Drive 1 hour away from Sofia
Go back in time and history at Trayanovi Vrata Fortress (Gate of Trajan)
Listen to the priest' song and story in the church "Sveti Arhangel Mihail" in Kostenets village
Watch how a master-cutler is producing a typical for the region knives with deer horn handles (horns are not cut off of deer, no worries)
Freshen up near the Kostenski Waterfall
Indulge with tasty vegan food at Shisharka restaurant
Visit the Dormition of the Mother of God church, built entirely by locals and their faith
Taste wines in the boutique Rasin Winery in Momin Prohod
Experience old-time crafts and customs in the Craft Workshop at the Community Center in Momin Prohod
Go back to Sofia
So, to do all of that, you need just a car and gas for less that 200km. Most of the places are free for visiting, some of them need prior arrangement. Apart for food, you'll probably have to not more than 40 BGN for entry fees. Which is kind of cool!
