A few days ago I did a very nice hiking trip in Pirin Mountain. Our ultimate goal was to climb the peak of Sinanitsa at 2516m.
Our starting point was the Vihren hut, to which we traveled by car almost all day and arrived at night. The hut was very cozy, clean and had a restaurant with great cuisine.
We were accommodated in the hut, but there is also the option of sleeping in bungalows.
In the morning we had breakfast and started the hike to Sinanitsa.
The hike began with beautiful views and unique colors.
We walked along the Banderitsa River and the feeling of being among this beauty and sounds was unique.
We reached Muratovo Lake where we stopped for a short break.
Next came the climb to the Banderishka Gate. The section was rocky - we moved mainly along moraines and rocks.
It was very windy at the gate, so we didn't stay long.
What followed was an extremely pleasant hike through beautiful sections.
We reached a small lake, its waters peacefully spreading out amidst crystal clear surroundings.
We reached the Sinanish Gate, from where a magnificent view of the Sinanish Circus opened.
The hut is reached after a long descent.
We passed by squats and around us was a magnificent view of the peak.
On the way we saw some of the hut's horses.
We reached the hut, which, in addition to places in the building, also offers sleeping in tents.
The hosts (a family with two children) were extremely kind and hospitable.
Sinanishko Lake has an extraordinary charm and after taking a short break enjoying its beauty, we began the climb to the top.
We started from the left bank of the lake, following the stone pyramids. In places the terrain was quite steep and required increased caution.
Reaching the peak was exciting and the view from there was really worth it.
We returned to the hut not by the same route but through the Sinaniska Gate. The views we saw from there were amazing.
We reached the gate at sunset and it was a pleasure to see the view of the setting sun from so high up.
That's what this hiking trip to Sinanitsa was like - so exciting and energizing.
Thank you for stopping by!
