Starting point:
Vihren Hut
Difficulty:
6 Very Challenging
Duration:
12h (circular)
Route length:
22km (circular)
RECOMMENDED BY:
Plamen Stoyanov, Kiril Vodenicharov, Sophia Petrova
ATTENTION: The route passes through steep, rocky sections. If you have a fear of heights, we advise you not to take this hike.
The route can be shortened by returning to Vihren Hut via the same trail and skipping Georgiysko Lake and Vlahino Lake.
The section before Vlahinski Preval is very rugged and unmarked. The trail mostly follows boulder fields, moraines, and scree slopes.
The total elevation gain is approximately 1,500–1,600 metres, which is quite significant and should also be taken into account if you plan to complete the full route.
If you’re up for this challenge, here’s a trail.
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.
