BULHARSKO, DAY 7

Seventh day was supposed to be a rest day….Well, that didn’t exactly work out. „Let’s just quickly climb to one of the surrounding peaks and spend the rest of the day relaxing“, we thought. For that purpose we chose Rilets peak (2,713 m.a.s.l.) which quickly earned a nickname „Killer mountain“. It could have occurred toContinue reading “BULHARSKO, DAY 7”

BULHARSKO, DAY 6

What a romantic experience – sleeping near the lake, right? There’s only one problem with it – during the night, it’s usually damn cold near water.

BULHARSKO, DAY 3

It’s time to say good bye to the Old Hut and to the Sedemte Ezera Hut. Next stop – Maljovica Hut. Before we reach it, we will have to descend and ascend back up to 2,050 m.a.s.l. The day is spectacular. Perhaps a little bit too hot. We keep sinking down the valley. Soon theContinue reading “BULHARSKO, DAY 3”

BULGARIA, DAY 1

We finished off yesterday with a substantial dinner at a very non-touristic place (Mister Uli), which was also recommended to us by our host. In short, the evening went like this: searching for the place, getting lost, finding the place, entering, strong feeling of “not fitting in”, taking a seat, plastic table-cloth, hand-written menu –Continue reading “BULGARIA, DAY 1”
