ペルニク地方周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ19

The Struma River originates from here – from the southern slopes of Vitosha, at an altitude of about 2,200 meters, not far from Cherni Vruh peak. Here, among the high mountain grasses and the silence of the Vitosha massif, one of the most significant rivers of Southwestern Bulgaria and the entire Balkan Peninsula begins its journey. With a length of about 415 km, of which 290 km are on the territory of Bulgaria, the Struma passes through numerous natural and historical areas. It flows through the Pernik and Kyustendil regions, through the picturesque Struma Valley and the Sandansko-Petrichka Valley, irrigating fertile lands and providing water for people and nature. After leaving Bulgaria, the river continues its path through Northern Greece, passes by the city of Serres and flows into the Aegean Sea at the Orphanos Bay. The Struma is an important natural and economic resource, and its valley has been used since ancient times as a natural corridor between the interior of the Balkans and the White Sea.

The shelter is located on the path from Marchaevo village to Selemitsa hut. It is a massive building and it could be very helpful when the weather goes bad, but the conditions don't look very nice (July 2020). It is named after the Pink Panter because of its pink color which makes it a very interesting place in Vitosha mountain.

There are two routes to use. They command from the main road after the village of Filipovtsi. The one with red markings is easier. If you want a longer walk, you can also start from the village of Vrabcha.

A wonderful place to relax. There are benches and a shelter. There is also a small cave nearby that can be seen. Just look down the aisle. Bring your flashlight.
