Transition in the Pirin Mountain are not like your weekly walk in the park or a nearby grove and therefore your first concern should be the best outfit. Take with you a suitable wind-jacket to keep you from changing weather and gusts of wind or brief rain and rapidly changing temperatures. The most important element are the shoes that must have large outsole for non-slip on the rocks and grass in the alpine zone of the mountain, is good for the feet and ankles are at least one or two sizes larger the size of the shoes you are wearing in the city.

Easiest access is from the mountain huts Vihren , Demianitsa, Banderitsa, and Kamenica. Leads to the first paved road very nice and you can leave your car right into her yard If you own transport, it should not bother you because the bus station in Bansko and from in front of "Strajite" and "Kempinski" are available every 2-3 hours from 8.30 am to 16 pm. If you choose to walk from the chalet "Bezbog" must have own transport, which can go up to the hut "Gotse Delchev", where one can get the lift, you should know that no buses.

For a day in the hut "Vihren" can climb the Vihren on the south side and get off on the north to see the impressive circus "Kazanite" at the bottom of a thick 7 -8-foot snowdrift never melts. Time to climb the Pirin leader is about 3 hours. So is the descent back to the hut. If you are lucky for the weather, panorama, which opens from the Pirin can hardly be described in words.

Many exciting emotions will gift if you choose one-day route away. "Vihren" - Big Todorka peak. We recommend it because it can only be estimated magnitude of the two highest peaks in Pirin - Vihren Kutela. The trail passes Banderishki lakes and continues east to the saddle below the peak Todorka small. When you log in, go left on the ridge top. In normal walking pace will step on Todorin peak after about 4.30 hours drive from the lodge.

A lovely day trip destination in this part of the Pirin Mountain is climbing Mount Muratov. The road from the lodge "Vihren" until it takes about 3 hours. The trail goes from there left bank Banderitsa passes through a large swampy meadow and about 1.30 hours displayed on Muratovo lake. Take a short break and continue west along the marked trail, which after another hour climbing on the stones in the steepest section of the western part of Banderishka Cirque will bring up the Sinanishko port saddle, which is located south below the peak Muratov.
