    Tips

    Hiking

    There are different options to climb this peak.
    I suggest to climb it from Kazanite and the return back to Vihren hut throught Kabata


    There are number of reasons for that:
    1) If you climb in reverse order than you can skip Koncheto because of exhaustion and I think that Koncheto is a place that you should visit!
    2) The way through Kazanite is steeper and is more inconvenient for descent (the knees!)
    3) I'm sure I'm missing some reasons

    Hiking

    It is advisable to descend on the north side and on the south side. The climb on the north side is partially insured with a steel cable and requires the use of the hands, but is not particularly difficult or exposed.

    Hiking

    Second highest mountain in Bulgaria, so when the weather is good you can enjoy a very far-reaching view. The section of road between the Banderitsa campsite and the Vihren hut is closed from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (one-way street, controlled by the police), so start as early as possible.

    It is also worth being at the summit around 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., otherwise, depending on the weather, clouds can cover the summit.
