After a morning ascent through the Suchodol valley (literally: "Dry Valley") to the eponymous pass, the route today follows this ridge - sometimes directly on it, sometimes slightly below. The Koncheto - literally: "Little Horse" - is an about 200 m long ridge section secured with steel cables. After the Preval pass, there is an about half-hour ascent to the Vichren summit - and after returning to the pass, downhill to the Vichren hut.

Safety information
The route has secured sections: at Koncheto before the Preval Pass as well as on the ascent and descent to Vichren. Preferably only hike during dry weather! The entire ridge is very exposed during thunderstorms - since thunderstorms are common in the summer afternoons, an early start is recommended.Roadbook
Afterwards, it goes downhill to the Preval saddle. Here you may deposit luggage, before a further steep ascent to the summit of Vichren takes about half an hour. There are secured sections here as well.
After returning to the Preval saddle, follow the green marking downhill - after the Kazan shelter, the trail branches again, and you follow the red marking on the right downhill to the Vichren hut. Here there are again some rocky and steep descent sections to overcome.
