    The third day of our Pirin crossing shows the different geological structures of the mountain range: from limestone over gneiss back to limestone mountains. After this stage, we will finally leave the limestone.

    From the Vichren Hut, it goes up several terrain levels to the Banderishka Porta. Along the way, we pass several lakes - a clear sign that we have left the limestone mountains.

    From Banderishka Porta, we make a detour to Muratov Vrch - from there, there is another nice view of the Vichren. However, the ascent and descent are a bit scrambling.

    After the Banderishka Porta, it goes along a high valley with slight ups and downs to the Sinaniska Porta and further down to the Sinanitsa Hut, below the eponymous mountain. And it consists again of: limestone

    Safety information

    The Muratov Vrch requires surefootedness and a head for heights.

    Roadbook

    From the Vichren Hut we follow the blue and yellow marked path. At the Muratovo Ezero lake, a first break is recommended. Afterwards, it goes quite steeply uphill to the Banderishka Porta pass. A detour leads us to the Muratov Vrch directly above the pass (unmarked path, but clearly visible route).

    Back at the pass, just follow the blue trail marking to the Sinaniska Porta, then follow the blue and brown markings downhill to the hut and to Sinanitsa lake.
