The Junction of Second Terrace
Vtora Terasa (Second Terrace) is the name of the second flat area along the trail from the Malyovitsa hut to Malyovitsa peak. The junction here splits between the trail to the summit and the path to Granitna Voda Shelter (BAK) on the left, if you are coming from the hut.
Trails through this place
HardA trail to BAK, one of the true symbols of Bulgarian mountaineering, and to two of the peaks towering above the shelter - Kamilata and Orlovets. The trail to the Granitna Voda Shelter (the new BAK) presents no significant difficulty for a prepared hiker, but most of the peaks above the shelter are objectively dangerous, even though there are well-trodden paths leading to some of them.
ModerateThis is the usual route for climbing Malyovitsa Peak in the summer. There are some steep sections and a lot of rocks, but if we get lucky with the weather, we’ll see a big part of Rila from above.
