A holy place. Silence and tranquility.

St. Nicholas Church This is the oldest and largest church in Melnik, dating back to the beginning of the 11th century and a metropolitan church from the 13th to the mid-18th century. According to its design, it is a three-transept basilica with three apses, with an almost square nave and a differentiated pre-apse space surmounted by a longitudinal semi-cylindrical brick vault, with the central transept rising above the sides. The nave is divided into three transverse septa with two rows of two columns each and dividing altar screens, connected to a solemn triumphal arch that doubles the altar apse. In the curve of the central apse conch is an imposing four-tiered seating area for the clergy, with the tive-stepped metropolitron in the center and handrails on both sides. The church features a narthex, side galleries with a water reservoir (to the north) and a bell tower (to the south), and a residential building (to the west) – all integrated into a single architectural ensemble. It features magnificent wall paintings dating back to the early 11th century. It is a cultural monument of national importance.

The Rozhen Monastery (Bulgarian: Роженски манастир Rozhenski manastir) is the largest monastery in the Pirin Mountains in southwestern Bulgaria and one of the most beautiful monasteries in the country. (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kloster_Roschen)

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.

Lately peak

Nice hut with spring

Knife-edge ridge. 1 meter wide in the narrowest part. Very steep slopes. Maximum caution is required!

From the top you have a great view of the rest of the Pirin Mountains. Definitely worth going all the way up. It takes about two and a half to three hours.
