The Club - Location

 

IBAR Country Golf Club Dolna Bania is situated at the foothills of Mount Rila - the highest mountain on the Balkan Peninsula. It is 18 km from Borovets - the first Bulgarian skiing resort founded at the beginning of the 20th century; 70 km from the Bulgarian capital Sofia and 80 km from Plovdiv - the second largest Bulgarian city founded in ancient times by Philip of Macedonia - father of Alexander the Great.

Dolna Bania itself is an ancient settlement famous for its hot mineral water springs (65°C). Over the centuries its inhabitants have featured ancient Thracian tribes, Roman and Byzantine settlers. Roman legions have also crossed these lands on numerous occasions. Germanicus (grandson of Emperor August, brother of Claudius and father of Emperor Caligula of the Roman Empire was procurator here). The well preserved Roman Bath, the old paved Roman road, the ruins of the Venetitsa - an ancient Orthodox monastery and the small chapel located 6 km from the town, lend extra historic value and importance to the entire area. The road to Constantinople, which runs close to the town, was used by the armies of the IVth Crusade, led by Emperor Baldwin of Flanders.
