Pass of the Republic

The pass of the republic is with approx. 700 hm an alternative to the Schipka pass, which is higher with 1185 hm. Nevertheless, it was with our heavy-duty transporters in the summer heat a decent piece of work to get to the highest point. The reward we could demand, with the descent into the valley, only the next day. The car and truck traffic was bearable, but should not be underestimated. The goods traffic is certainly more important than a bike path and so you share the road with the Brummifahrern obviously have no time to stop. A testimonial are the many plastic bottles with "Limo" on the roadside. The quasi serves as trash and Kloake alike. To see the beauty of the valley, you have to look over the strip to the right and left of the asphalt, beyond the legacy.
At the top we found a "meadow" campground (in the restaurant ask) with shower facility.
In the mentioned restaurant "Predela Hut" there was a decent dinner and the next morning breakfast.
At night the starry sky was free.
