Route Karlovo - Levski Hut - Bot...

The route from Karlovo to the hut "Levski" to Botev peak starts from the center of the sub-Balkan town and it is advisable to take at least two days because the overall length is about 13 hours. The first objective of the route is "Hubavets " , which can be reached in 2-3 hours in a normal way. The trail is well marked and identifiable . In the beginning is pretty steep pretty quickly enters the forest and half an hour after its launch brings to the bed of Old River , where he built a place for recreation.

Then the route follows the valley and provides truly remarkable views of the turbulent and restless waters only for a moment " asleep " in equal areas abound in small pools . Following the bed , the trail is quite sloped and allows you to enjoy the many beautiful views.

As long as we have considered the time to go and weather well , the transition to "Hubavets " is one of the nicest that we can imagine. The hut itself is a place where Little Big River merge to form the Old River . A two-storey building with 50 beds and outdoor bathrooms .

From here to the next hut before the mountain ridge , " Balkan Roses " is reached is about an hour, the trail again follows riverbed (this time of Great River ) . The hut is a small and friendly (there are 30 seats ) and route it to the ridge and hut " Vasil Levski " takes about two hours again following the bed of the great river .

Hut " Vasil Levski " is one of the most visited in the Central Balkan Mountains. It has two floors, has a total capacity of 70 places and go through it almost all attractive routes in the area. The best way to lodge the route is right here .

After a rest and some sleep , take the most impressive and high ridge area of Stara Planina. The trail goes quite steeply to the east and climb takes about an hour through the woods . It leads to the rocky outcrop and Govedarnika Ridge area , overlooking a stunning view in all directions.

From route is much more enjoyable , especially if you choose winter marking provides continuous series of beautiful views of the Northern, Southern Bulgaria and Stara Planina ridge. The route passes through some of the highest and most scenic peaks of the mountain , then down to the ridge zaravnenie , which is shelter " Botev" . The ascent of the eponymous leader of the Balkan Mountains (2,376 m) will take another hour . The feeling of freedom and space and views , however, are worth !
