Cherni Vrah, 1616, Bulgaria
The highest peak of Vitosha mountain. Has mountain cabin at the top where one can buy tea, beer or cooked food and contemplate the view. A must visit for every guest of the capital city.
Lovely piece of heaven sitting at just a 40 minutes drive from Sofia downtown and an hour and a half hike!
I almost made it all the way to the top but instead I stopped to just appreciate the view of Sofia down below. Great walk but quite steep if your coming up from the Aleko Hut side of the mountain.
Very easily accessible by Gondola Lift Simeonovo, which will take you to Aleko. It takes only 90 minutes to reach the summit from Aleko Hut. From the top the views are OK, but nothing amazing, as there are no high mountains in the neighbourhood. In the summer the lift is open only on weekends.
Climbed it from Slatni Mostove and that was amazing. Be aware that it can be windy up there!
