Climbing  Musala Peak - the transition that we have to make almost by obligation

There is not a child in Bulgaria who has not heard of Musala Peak, that it is the highest peak in the Balkans with its 2925 meters and that one day this peak must be conquered.

Each major transition is associated with the preparation of a backpack. In order to have complete success in the ascent, it is very important to choose it correctly and determine its content. If we make this selection, we will be able to enjoy the magical journey without any worries.

The majestic Rila Mountain offers countless opportunities for recreation, adventure, and unique panoramic views from its peaks. It can be soft and hospitable, as well as raw and challenging - depending on the season and the area.

Rila mountain is among the most majestic mountains on the European continent, and the heart of the Balkans. Its richness hides a diverse palette of sharp peaks, woodlands, rivers and waterfalls. Discovering the secrets of Rila is a mission to which one can dedicate a lifetime. It hides challenges for the most experienced mountaineers, but can also be caring and hospitable even for the youngest visitors. Let's take a look at 5 ideas for hiking in Rila, which you will not regret!

Here you are finally on vacation or just your weekend seems great for a walk with the family. Sofia residents are lucky that Vitosha (not the boulevard) is located in their backyard. Many of the popular places to walk are there, but we will remind you of some other nice places to relax or to put on your sneakers and run after the children.

Hiking is an excellent opportunity for us to immerse ourselves in nature with friends or family, and why not alone. Moving on our own two feet and carrying a backpack full of what we need, we will be able to explore nature away from the noisy city.

Anyone who loves hiking knows that the weather is not always sunny and dry. Nature can sometimes surprise us with warm summer rain, a strong thunderstorm or even snow. And other times we just know that it will rain during the transition. When we are well prepared for all weather conditions, we can enjoy our favorite experience to the fullest. And isn't this the greatest adventure - to be able to cope with all possible situations?

If you want to have a light walk and organize a picnic - do not think so, Eco Trail Beli Iskar is a wonderful place for this purpose. It can be reached by car, which you can leave in the car park at the beginning of the trail.

To own a hammock almost automatically makes you a happy person. If you have it, then you love yourself, you manage to provide enough free time and you know how to create comfort. So, if you have not yet reached this level, do it - have a hammock that will suit best to your soul. And what is the most important thing when we have to choose a hammock?

The tent is a favorite fabric home. It allows us to get as close as possible to nature - to listen to the crickets and the waves, to count the stars… In such a mood, how nice it would be to be able to quickly choose our two-seater tent. Because after all, it is our temporary home and in order to be the most comfortable, we must choose it carefully, like any other home.

Camping in a big tent means that your adventures and fun are tied in a towel. In one, for example, a six-seater tent, we can gather our whole family or friends and feel comfortable. When choosing it, we will focus on a few basic questions to start your vacation calm and safe.

Staying outdoors is the easiest way to feel free. We are surrounded by nature, we breathe "green" air and stare at shooting stars. For all this we need a well-chosen sleeping bag. With it we can have the comfort of the bed at home, the warmth of a summer day and the softness of your favorite blanket. It gives us all the amenities for a good night's sleep and a good night's rest.
