The Zheleznitsa – Cherni Vrah – Golden Bridges is relatively long for Vitosha (about 20-23km) but it’s not difficult. You’ll enjoy many beautiful views along the way. We start from Zheleznitsa and hike up to the NSA station. This first part is the steepest. After that, we continue to the peak. You can enjoy a bowl of soup at the Cherni Vrah shelter. After that, it’s all downhill. The terrain is easy, and the only thing that might make it more challenging is the snow, in case you go in the spring.
Pick a safe route, suitable for your abilities.
Double check the forecast.
And the ones of your group.
Tell others where you’re going and expect to return.
It’s safer to hike with a group than alone.
