06 June 2026
Balkan
Organized or own transport

Има места в планината, които не просто се изминават - те се преживяват. Едно от тях е Старопланинското Конче - тесен и диво красив билен участък между върховете Пъпа (1976 м) и Братаница (1992 м) в Централна Стара планина. Стоиш на гребена на Балкана, на невидимата граница между Северна и Южна България, с безбрежен хоризонт от двете страни. Под теб - вековни букови гори, живописни поляни и дивото ждрело на Въртопска река. Над теб - само небето.

Маршрутът е подходящ за средно напреднали и напреднали планинари с добра физическа подготовка и опит в планината.

Tour Itinerary

Meeting 6:30 AM - Sofia, the parking lot in front of the Vasil Levski National Stadium.

Отправяме се към Копривщица. Трансферът до началната точка е около 1 час и 45 минути. Маршрутът е кръгов и тръгва от параклисчето на подбалканския път при разклона за Копривщица. Изкачването следва маркираната пътека покрай Въртопските теснини и техните скални чудеса, преминава през широките субалпийски поляни на Въртопа и излиза на главното старопланинско било. Следва незабравимото преминаване на Кончето и връх Братаница - най-високата точка на деня. Слизането се осъществява по немаркиран, но добре проходим рид, който затваря кръга обратно към изходната точка.
