발칸 산맥 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Hiking in small groups can help maintain rhythm and motivation. Switch the lead often — the front hiker sets the pace, and rotating prevents burnout.

Take regular short breaks like this to check navigation, hydrate, and just breathe in the scenery — they prevent fatigue and lift morale.

Midžor, soaring at 2,169 meters, is the highest peak of the Balkan Mountains, straddling the border between Serbia and Bulgaria.

The summit offers panoramic vistas that stretch across verdant landscapes, making it a must-visit for anyone exploring this part of Europe.

Avoid this hut if possible. The owners do not care much for their guest's safety and are not reachable by phone in case of an emergency or questions in the late-afternoon (e.g. concerning weather). If you do decide to go: make sure to bring your own toilet paper as it is not included in the accommodation price!

Iskar Gorge

The highest peak in Serbia. You can reach it from Bulgaria or Serbia. From the Bulgarian side there are two ways to the summit. A normal path (which is pretty easy) and one that is quite strenuous and overgrown (you have to make your own way through the bushes and trees). The view from the top is sooooo beautiful. There are also a lot of hikers from Serbia there.

Good place to have a rest, a snack and a nice view

Even though this mountain is relatively small, you have a beautiful panoramic view in all directions... especially worthwhile at sunrise

P.S. Don't forget your sunglasses

It's best to pay by card. There's beer!

nice weather and good walking shoes

Best view of the entire climb

Small detour, great view.

There is a bathroom in the shelter.

The hut is beautifully situated. It is suitable for overnight stays as well as for day trips (from the Beklemeto Pass or from the Haidushka Pesen Hut)

Make sure it is during the wet season otherwise the waterfall will be completely dry, as was the case at the end of August 2023

Spectacular! Always has water, but it's especially worth it after heavy rain. Good footwear required. Climbing, lots of stairs and bridges. Not suitable for prams!

The nettle soup was very nice. Who does not like spicy should not order it.

You can buy beer.
