Selected alternatives for you

The last stage of the Pirin crossing leads into a wild mountain world: on an unmarked path, you proceed on lonely trails to the summits Poleshan and Bezbog - where mountain climbers using the cable car come towards us from the opposite direction...

The path from the Demjanitsa hut to the summit of Poleshan is completely unmarked - orientation skills are definitely needed here. It is no longer a classic hike - boulder terrain must be overcome, and there is a grade I climbing section which is also wet from a creek.

Safety information

Orientation skills and sure-footedness of grade I are absolutely required!

Roadbook

Even the start of the route is a challenge: at the creek below the Demjanitsa hut, you first have to go a bit south to find a bridge made of wooden beams and behind it a path. After that, it's important not to lose this path - it always stays close to the creek. You should regularly check this and, if there are possible detours, go back a few meters.
