Dobrinishte
Добринище
A thermal spa town east of Bansko, with public mineral baths and the starting point for Bezbog Lake and a small ski area.
Dobrinishte is about 6 km from Bansko and has more than ten thermal springs, with water temperatures up to about 43°C and a range of minerals. The town has an outdoor public thermal pool and several spa hotels, with prices lower than in Bansko. Many skiers ski during the day and soak in the warm water in the evening. The road south of town leads to Gotse Delchev Hut. In winter a small family ski area operates here, and in summer you can take the chairlift up to Bezbog Lake. The town is also the terminus of the narrow-gauge railway.
