About this audio guide
This guide to Vitosha Nature Park, on the southern edge of Sofia, is about the mountain's rivers of stone and the sound coming up from underneath them. It follows an old name that stuck to these boulder fields, and the question of whether it was ever right. Best heard sitting on a boulder at Golden Bridges, where the lichens catch the light.
