One of the oldest public organizations in Bulgaria, the Bulgarian Tourist Union, celebrates 125 years since its inception on August 30, 2020. Its creators were the patriarch of Bulgarian literature Ivan Vazov and prominent writer and public figure Aleko Konstantinov aka The Lucky One.

The official tourist movement in Bulgaria began on Vitosha Mountain close to Sofia, with a mass ascent of Cherni Vrah Peak, where the union was established.
For the fifth year in a row, the Sofia Library is included in the traditional celebrations with the initiative "Library in the Mountains".
For the jubilee edition, today on the meadow in front of Aleko hut on Vitosha mountain, the exhibition "Contemplation of the Lucky One" was arranged, and the mobile library "Bibliobus" provided its readers with over a thousand volumes of Bulgarian and foreign writers.
