Bai Krastyo – Kominite – Ushite Peak

Hiking·3.23 km·1 h 18 min·515 m

The path from Bay Krastyo Shelter to the plateau via Kominite is one of the more difficult routes on Vitosha Mountain. There are many spots where you can get lost, steep stony sections where a fall cannot be ruled out, and it is not very popular, so we are likely to have it to ourselves, especially on weekdays. However, it will take us through one of the few alpine sections of otherwise rounded…

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.
