Tour Itinerary
The transfer to the village of Osenovlag takes about 2 hours. On arrival we prepare our packs, hold a briefing and discuss the route, and then set off for the summit.
From the village we take the old dirt roads that lead us through the varied autumn forest. The paths climb towards the summit, and when we reach it, beautiful panoramas open out in front of us - range after range of mountains. This is the moment to relax and take a well-earned break with lunch in the open.
On the way back to the village we will climb one more summit, Leskova Mogila, from which we will again have the chance to look around. We continue downwards, passing through the abandoned hamlets of Osenovlag, steeped in the mystery of time. If people wish, on the way back to Sofia we can stop at the Seven Thrones Monastery - a place of silence and spiritual calm, and the ideal end to this mountain adventure.
