My target is to find wake-cable from every place where I'm traveling.
I found from internet light tips that there could be cable park in Sofia. I'm sometimes flying via Sofia with my board bag, so why not to go to check.

| Some small differences in rope lengths, but it's just more exiting; what kind of rope you will get!! |
Park is quite near of airport, I rent a car and found to there quite easily by navigator. Magic words for navigator were: "Ulitsa 5 Kazichene Sofija".
Cable park is old Rixen, built about 1985 and it's low and long (maybe 800-900m) and just 4 towers. Anyway I was really exited to find this park and ride there. It was really interesting to see how well cable is still working. Prices are nice e.g. 2 hours costs about 12€!! Locals told that queue is quite big during weekends and sometimes evenings during week, but when I was riding there wasn't any queue.
Of course almost 30 years old cable is old fashion. Operators are working with manual handles; to load and unload ropes, check picture below. It was interesting to see this kind of!!
They have some obstacles...

| Kickers after starting dock |
 |
| Sliders after kickers |
 |
| Funbox before the first corner. |
Of course it's difficult in the beginning to ride in low cable , but after a while everything works and is possible. I think it would be just good for everybody to ride in low cable sometimes.

| They have good restaurant with cheap prices... |

| ...and wake shop of course! |
Some maps how to find there:
