Batashki Snezhnik Summit

This is one of the northern peaks of the Western Rhodopes. There is good parking as a starting point with a short climb from the connecting road Devin - Ravnogor. From the summit there is a beautiful view towards Velingrad of the Batak reservoir and Batak itself. Another ascent route is from the north of Nova Machala. The excess of horseflies that swarm around you can spoil your enjoyment.

A relatively easy peak to climb, many panoramic views over Batak Dam and the area. On the path from the village of Nova Mahala there are many water fountains and places to rest. Be prepared with comfortable shoes and expect muddy sections in places. Just before the top, watch out for reptiles - mainly snakes.
