4K Scenic Drive Bulgaria: I8 & A1 Kostenets - Sofia - from The Maritsa Valley to the capital

Welcome to a varied and interesting drive from Bulgaria! We are first driving on the national I8 from the spa town of Kostenets to the A1 motorway near Mirovo, and join it to Sofia. There are significant altitude differences on the way, as we are crossing a hilly area, with great views to the high Rila and Balkan mountains. Enjoy! Filmed in August 2021.
