About this audio guide
This guide to Lake Ariana in Sofia's Borisova Gradina follows a shallow, B-shaped pond from the late eighteen hundreds to today, through a straightened river, a Swiss gardener named Daniel Neff and the winters that turned it into ice. It touches the rental deal that set the lake's yearly rhythm and the years it stood empty. Listen from the shore facing the little island and its white stone bridge.
