Hikes and Treks

This year, we climbed Sinanitsa Peak again on August 28—Michaela's birthday. It has become a tradition for her to climb the peak on her birthday.

Orlovets Peak is 2,686 meters high and is located in the Malyovitsa section of the Rila Mountains.

In the summer of 2020, we took this route, then our hike was from the Macedonia hut to Semkovo along the ridge.

I have climbed Yavorovnik and Zab Peak before, but this time the idea was to climb Yavorovnik along the ridge between it and Kamenitsa Peak. Our starting point was the Begovitsa hut (Kamenitsa).

It was August 28—Michaela's birthday, who for several years on this date has been climbing Sinanitsa Peak, followed by a party at the Spano Pole shelter.

Skakavitsa hut is located in northwestern Rila above Sapareva Banya and Panichishte at the foot of Kabul Peak. Near the hut is the Riska Skakavitsa waterfall, the highest waterfall in Rila at 70 meters.

The Shegava River Canyon is located in the Konyavska Mountain near the confluence of the river with the Struma River near the village of Razhdavitsa.

First summer hike of the year — on the second day of summer.

The Fotinski Waterfalls are a beautiful, full-flowing cascade of three waterfalls located in the Western Rhodope Mountains. Each drop ranges between 7 and 17 meters in height.
