One of the longest hiking trips I made last summer with @outlinez and other friends was in the Western Rhodopes, Bulgaria.
The beginning of the trip started from hut Chaiyarski lakes. It is located at 1400 meters above sea level. , surrounded by colorful meadows, lakes and vast coniferous forests. One of the cleanest places in Bulgaria.
The hut is in close proximity to the Chairi Lakes Protected Area, an area known for its naturally formed landslides, meadows and centuries-old spruce forests.
We passed through the village Mugla. The village is called Mugla because it very often sinks into mist. The inhabitants of the village are famous for their hospitality.
We passed through the peak Shilesta Chuka.
On the way, amazing breathtaking views were revealed to us.
Beautiful trees, plants and mushrooms.
Fields covered with Hypericum Perforatum and lots of Thymus vulgaris.
We crossed a beautiful area, shortly before we get to the hut.
A stone fountain and a wooden shelter we saw on the road.
We went out on an asphalt road shortly before we arrive to our ultimate goal - Perelik hut.
Perelik hut is located at the beginning of the Mursalski rid, the Sovatia area, 1960 meters above sea level. It is the highest Rhodope hut situated under the peak of Perelik.
The hut was built in 1936 and was rebuilt and renovated in 1957. It is a massive two-storey building.
