Минзухари в подножието на вр. Малка Драгойна

Difficulty moderate

635 m
--------------------------------------------------- Маршрутът е проходим, но на места е възможно пътеката и маркировката да изчезват за кратко или да има нападали дървета. Ако предпочитате да вървите по добре утъпкани пътеки, използвайте маршрута за изкачване на вр. Драгойна, който стартира от с. Буково. --------------------------------------------------- Това е кръгов маршрут, който започва от с. Драгойново, минава през вр. Драгойна (813м) и през вр. Малка Драгойна. След това се слиза към с. Буково, от където се продължава обратно към с. Драгойново по ненатоварен асфалтов път с прекрасни панорамни гледки. Тези, които предпочитат да не вървят по асфалтов път, след като се изкачат до Драгойна, могат да се върнат обратно по същия маршрут. --------------------------------------------------- По първата част от маршрута (от с. Драгойново до вр. Драгойна) се следва синя маркировка, а по втората (от вр. Драгойна до с. Буково) маркировката е червена. Тези, които ще правят маршрута за първи път, е добре да използват навигация или приложение за навигиране, защото след напускане на коларския път, пътеката и маркировката се губят лесно. Маршрутът е подходящ за пролетния сезон или за началото на лятото, тъй като не е от най-посещаваните и по-късно през лятото обрасва с високи и труднопроходими треви. През останалото време от годината, както и ако предпочитате по-утъпкан маршрут, препоръчваме качването и слизането да са от с. Буково.
с. Буково
Hiking Trail · Bulgaria
с. Буково - вр. Малка Драгойна - вр. Драгойна (вр. Голяма Драгойна)
Difficulty easy
2.9 km
1:10 h

0 m
Маршрутът стартира от отбивка в началото на с. Буково (до футболния стадион на селото), където има място за паркиране. Върви се по коларски път, по който се достига до просторни поляни. От там преминава по горска пътека, маркирана с червена маркировка, която води до седловината (премката) между двата върха. При достигане на седловината между двата върха от село Буково, от ляво е разположен връх Драгойна, а от дясно - вр. Малка Драгойна. Повечето хора се изкачват само до вр. Малка Драгойна, който е по-панорамния от двата. Изкачването на вр. (Голяма) Драгойна изисква по-голяма техничност и може да се пропусне. Маркировката за същинското изкачване на вр. Голяма Драгойна е синя. За разлика от вр. Малка Драгойна, който е достъпен целогодишно, пътеката до вр. Драгойна е проходима само през пролетта и началото на лятото. След това тя се губи във високите треви. Връщането става по същия маршрут.
The Botev peak comes into view after the rock passage
Hiking Trail · Bulgaria
From Rai hut to Botev and back
Difficulty moderate
8.1 km
4:13 h
1,042 m
1,045 m
From the Rai hut, the path initially ascends gently through meadows. Then comes a steeper rock section that is secured with ropes. At the end of the climbing section, the path gradually runs along the slope and the destination comes into view. After another half-hour steeper ascent, you reach the summit with its not-so-nice buildings - hut, meteorological station, and transmission station. In good weather (not always guaranteed), there is a magnificent panoramic view. The Botev can also be climbed in one day from the parking lot of the ascent to the Rai hut. 5 hours ascent, 4 hours descent. Good fitness is required then.
