LOCATION
The picturesque resort of Borovets is located in the Rila mountains and is one of the most
famous winter resorts in South-East Europe, a frequent meeting place for the elite in world
skiing. The resort is 1350 m above sea level, at the foot of the highest peak on the Balkan
Peninsula - Moussala (2925 m). The resort of Borovets is 73 km from Sofia and 126 km
from Plovdiv (see the map at the conference site), which means that both Sofia and Plovdiv
with their international airports can serve as arrival/departure points. In addition to regular
public transport, the organisers will provide daily shuttle buses from Sofia airport to the
conference location at an inexpensive rate. A taxi from Sofia to Borovets is relatively cheap;
it is also possible to take a taxi from the international airport in Sofia to the conference
venue.

Further information can be obtained from Galia Angelova (OC Chair), galia at lml.bas.bg.
