Mt Vihren
The second highest peak in Bulgaria and third on the Balkan Peninsula. Many do this as a day tour from Vihren hut, which can be reached by road, i.e. car and bus.
A name given to an approximately 200 m long ridge between the 2nd and 3rd highest mountains in the range with steep cliffs on either side, leading to an amazing panorama.
A very picturesque lake with a shelter/hut for overnighting. The hut is quite pricey and the owner not the most friendly person, but the surrounding is well worth the trip. If you do not want to stay here, heading out southeast, there are some wilderness huts and serviced huts after around 10 km.
Sandanski
Another popular entry point is via Sandanski, about which this article is lacking.
Once inside you will have to hike, the different huts and summits are connected by hiking trails.
