Overview

This is an amazing walk in the Central Balkan National Park. The trail offers real wilderness in combination with cosy touristic huts. The landscape is varied. It comprises ancient beech and coniferous forests where the average age of the trees is around 150 years, high-mountain meadows and narrow rocky strips along the main mountain crest. It is part of the E3 European long-distance walking route. The Balkan mountain gives the name of the Balkan Peninsula. This tour offers many opportunities for hiking all year round.
We offer this hike in several options depending on your preferences-with transport or without transport, with a guide or without a guide.
If you prefer with transport, we will pick you up from Sofia or Plovdiv.
