Price: The starting point of this popular and easy tourist route is hut "Usana" , located in the eponymous area known as the geographical center of Bulgaria . The area has the status of a resort and gradually gaining popularity as a tourist and ski center.

Starting from the hut , Jogging Ispolin ( 1524 m altitude ) is released after about 100 meters from the road and continues to the southeast , climbing through beautiful beech forest. Initially the slope is quite serious , but the route is relatively short and travels fast.
The trail leads to the Karamandra area at the foot of the peak , which dominates the entire Usana and serves as a guide during the transition . Until there is an option to reach a forest road that the hut take the road to the Shipka Pass , but in the saddle at the foot of Mount Markov stol (1352 m ) diverges to the right and climbs to Karamandra . This embodiment is substantially sloping , but also much longer .
