Night ascent of Vihren peak, coupled with the sunrise from the top! A two-day trek in Pirin for lovers of unconventional adventure and magic!

Day 1

Vihren is too glamorous and some of you have climbed it more than once. But how about a moonlit adventure? This may sound crazy, but actually it is far from it. Above all, we have chosen full moon, to get the feel of a sky full of stars and even be able to walk with no headlamps on. Night-time hiking is much easier than the daytime trek. And the reward - the sunrise from the top - is priceless! :) We start on Saturday morning from Sofia and reach the Vihren lodge in about 3h. We then have a walk nearby. Our Saturday hike will continue for about 5 hours and will offer beautiful lakes and breath-taking views. We go to bed earlier to get up at 1:30 a.m., i.e. after 4 or 5 hours of a night's sleep.

Day 2

While it is somewhat unpleasant to get up at 1:30 a.m., it is totally worth the efforts! We are at the starting line at 2 a.m. We take the standard trail to Kazanite. In about 1.5 h we reach a shelter and have a rest. In another hour we are at Premkata (the Saddle). Our hike is a delight for the soul and the senses - mysticism sprinkled with billions of stars and moonlight! In about an hour, we are already atop, holding our breath for the sunrise. When the sun makes its first peek above the horizon, we have tears in our eyes. The rest is clear - we descend to the lodge and at around 9:00 in the morning we have breakfast and coffee after the most extraordinary night of our lives! We go to a swimming pool and have a rest in bliss. We have a lunch at a pub and late in the afternoon we arrive in Sofia.
