ピリン山脈のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

You should definitely not attempt this hike if you are not an expert hiker. The hike is very dangerous and the photos are from another era. The summit is full of extremely complicated and unstable rocks. I do trail running and hiking regularly and I definitely had trouble on this route. You should definitely not bring a non-expert.

You'll pass this spot on the hike from Melnik to Rojen Monastery. Those driving to the monastery should take the short climb. The view from here over the earth pyramid landscape is simply magnificent.

Visit with or without tasting of local wines possible - entrance fee.

The hut is closed in winter.

The road between the Banderitsa campsite and the Vihren hut is closed from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (one-way street) and is controlled by the police, so start as early as possible. Later you can park the car in the parking lot about 5 km away, further down.

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.

The decline once you reach the peak is dangerous. The path is not labeled and there is no clear way to defend safely due to the loose rocks. My friend and I reached the peak and turned around rather than attempt it. I would say this is an expert hike, with a lot of technical skills and equipment needed.

Nice hut with spring
