Kopitoto Area – Momina Skala Hut

The route from the Momina Skala Hut to the Bai Krastyo Shelter is part of Vitosha’s mid-mountain (elevation-wise) ring trail. The climbs and descents along the path are mainly gradual, and we walk mostly through the forest, though views of Sofia open up frequently along the way. The trail crosses a vast stone river and later traverses a stream (Dragalevtsi River) featuring a small waterfall. Note that this route is suitable only for summer travel, as a portion of the trail passes through an avalanche-prone area.

A short walk along an almost level and well-maintained forest path. The meadow in front of Momina Skala Hut is an excellent place for a picnic, which is why it can get quite crowded on weekends.

An alternative route from Momina Skala Hut to Zlatnite Mostove, passing through the area of Bukara, where it merges with the direct path from Kopitoto, Malkoto Kopitoto (the path through Planinishki Livadi), as well as the red-marked trail to Boyanа Waterfall.

This is a trail that runs beneath the former Kopitoto chairlift. It was used by the legendary alpinist Boyan Petrov for endurance training. The route starts on the marked trail to the Golden Bridges and branches off to the left before the first footbridge. It then passes a residential building, crosses the Old and New Belovodski roads one after the other, and heads sharply uphill through the forest, where the actual challenge begins.
