About this audio guide
This guide to Kopitoto, the hoof-shaped rock on Vitosha above Sofia, is about the wild animals that share a mountain with a capital city. It begins on a May morning in twenty twenty-three, when a security camera in the village of Vladaya filmed something nobody expected. Along the way you'll meet a former park director and a young collared bear named Damyan who would not stay put. Best heard at the rail by the television tower, looking down over the forest.
