📍 Middle Stara Planina, Haiduk Cheshma area (1560 m above sea level)

🚗 Starting point: Beklemeto pass – accessible by car from Troyan

🥾 The route is open and passes through the monument to the Soviet pilots and Kozya Stena peak. There is a choice between a summer (easier, skirting the peak) and a winter route (along the ridge and across the peak itself). At the end there is a section with steel ropes. The Stara Planina edelweiss grows in the area – do not pick it, because it is a protected species!

🕒 About 2 h. and 30 min. in the direction

💧 There is no fountain on the route – bring enough water

🧒 Suitable for children: ⚠️Not suitable for children.

💡 Tip: The trail offers incredible views, but is not suitable in bad weather – the storms on the ridge are serious.
