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.

For about 5-6 years, I have been going to the beach with friends at the Kamchia resort complex. For me, it is one of the few remaining places on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast that is worth visiting.

Babek-style Lard Sausage is a type of sausage whose main ingredient is lard, seasoned with various spices. Just like with other seasoned cured fats, you can adjust the spices to your own taste here as well.

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.
