Conquer the Heights: A Guide to Hiking Musala Peak

The most popular route starts from the Borovets resort, where you'll take a cable car up to the Yastrebetz Hut, and from there, the real adventure begins. The trail takes you through alpine meadows, rocky terrain, and a series of well-marked paths leading toward the summit. As you ascend, the landscape shifts dramatically, offering breathtaking views at every turn.
Don’t forget to pack plenty of water, snacks, and warm layers, as the weather on the peak can change quickly. It’s also worth noting that the hike is best suited for experienced hikers due to its altitude and challenging conditions, but the incredible views at the top make every step worthwhile.
