Momina Skala Hut - Bai Krastyo Shelter

We start from the Momina Skala Hut heading toward the Boyana Waterfall, but just after crossing the bridge over the Boyana River directly next to the hut, we turn off to the right. Care must be taken not to take the trail to the Tintyava Hut and Kamen Del Peak. Its turnoff is just before the one for the Kamen Del Hut and heads upward, so keep a close eye on the directional signs. Initially, our path begins to descend until it reaches the Esperanto Hut, after which it climbs at a gentle incline to the Kamen Del Hut.

The section between the Kamen Del Hut and the Kikish Shelter is a pleasant, almost level walk through the forest.

After the Kikish Shelter, the terrain gradually becomes more varied and challenging. A few minutes past the shelter, a fork comes into view, with Kikish Peak lying to the left. The peak is actually a natural terrace featuring a meadow, a small bench, and a view of Sofia. It is located just a one-minute walk through the forest to the left. We can easily make a quick detour here, though the main trail ahead will offer a few opportunities to see Sofia from above.

One such spot is the stone river cascading down from Kamen Del Peak, which we will cross. Past it, the path bends to follow the deep ravine that the Dragalevtsi River has carved into the slopes of Vitosha. Right beside the trail on the right, a small waterfall comes into view. Watch your step here, as wet and slippery rocks are common here. High above the little waterfall sit The Chimneys (Kominite), a rock formation popular for rock climbing. The turnoff for them appears shortly. Finally, the trail leads us out to the sharp bend of the paved road to Aleko Hut, just below which sits the Bai Krastyo Shelter.
