Rui Peak

We have two recommendations for routes here. 

Option 1. From Zabel 

Straightforward and well marked. Moderate difficulty and length. You can check the route details here.

Option 2. From Zelenigrad – circular route (Kristina’s recommendation) – around 7h

This option is more challenging and adventurous and not recommended for beginners. Here’s Kristina’s feedback of the route:

“I completed a circular route that includes Zelenigrad, Rui Peak, Hut Rui, Zabel, and back to Zelenigrad. This route is more challenging due to the steep path from Zelenigrad to Rui. For a more relaxed experience, consider doing the locations in reverse order or simply go from Zabel to the Peak and return the same way. The path from Zabel to Hut Rui is easier but takes more time. The trail is well-marked on both sides of the mountain. However, if you choose the circular route, be aware that there’s an unofficial path across a field connecting the villages of Zabel and Zelenigrad, which can be a bit tricky to find.”
