Best options are if comming from Sofia by car, take the Trakia highway until the 70km. Then exit to Velingrad town, passing through the villages Vinogradets, Karabunar, Zlokuchane and Septemvri.
From Velingrad follow the signs to Sarnitsa, and take the second to the left after entering the town. Mind that there are about 12 km of the road in heavy reconstruction (summer 2008) taking place and average speed in this section is 30 km/h. No fuel stations in this section as well, so fill up in Velingrad.
The total distance from Sofia is 190 km. (70km on highway) and is done in 3 hours on average (at July 2008) by car.
Do not take the road via Pazarzdik - Peshtera - Batak - Dospat. The section Peshtera - Batak is closed (July 2008) for reconstruction and the surrounding route is way too long and slow.
