Pirin Mountain

We started from Vihren Hut, climbed Muratov Peak and spent the night at Sinanitsa Hut. The next day, we climbed Sinanitsa Peak before making our way back to Vihren Hut.

Our hike started at Bezbog Hut. From there, we followed the marked trail to Popovo Lake, where we left the main path and began climbing Mount Sivria (2,591 m).

В този неделен ден групата ни беше от девет човека. Двама от нас достигнаха до хижа Демяница с велосипеди, а останалите седем – пеша. Колите оставихме при параклиса „Св.

Near the village of Mechkul, in the foothills of the Pirin Mountains, lie the megalithic sanctuary of St. Mina and the Mechkul Waterfall – the highest waterfall in Pirin, with a height of 51 meters.

Mount Vihren, at 2,914 meters, is the second-highest peak in Bulgaria and the highest in the Pirin Mountains.

The time had come to do a winter ascent of Mount Spanopolski Chukar (2576 m). Last winter we only reached the Spano Pole shelter—we were a bit too lazy to continue upward, and not everyone in the group had snowshoes.

Golyama Straza Peak is 2799 m high and is the eighth highest peak in Pirin. It is part of the Ushitsite (Straza) ridge, located between the peaks of Polezhan and Kaymakchal.

In mid-September, we decided to go on a cycling trip in memory of Vesko from Petrich. The idea was to cycle to Malina hut and then descend the next day to Skoko waterfall above the village of Kashina.

In mid-November, we were wondering what an easy hike to do, and in the end, we chose to tackle the side peaks south of Solishte – Kelio, Kotsov Grob, and Stefanov Peak.
