👉 The starting point is Vihren Hut.

🚗 The road to the hut is ideal. There is enough space for free parking. ❗Keep in mind that they close the road to the huts in the summer - from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. every day.

💧 Also prepare comfortable shoes, water, and sunscreen.

⌛ The road in one direction is a 3-hour walk and there is a serious unevenness until you reach the peaks. I recommend you go through small and medium Todorka peaks on the ridge, as you will see panoramic views the whole time.

🗓️ If you are in Bansko around August 15, check if the lift is working. At this time of the year, there is a Jazz Festival in honor of which they launch the lift and you can reach the top in about an hour from the last station of the lift. If so, then descend via Vihren Hut to see the views along the way.
