On foot to Iran - Vitosha mountains

From Sofia I got to hills again, this time to Vitosha mountains with it's highest peak Cherni vrah.

At first I visited Boyana church from 9th century which is part of UNESCO and then moved to the hills. After Serbia it was unbelievable, well marked paths, water almost everywhere 😃 I spent one night under the sky and about 5:30 I was waken up by thunders and when I went to do the dishes after breakfast in stream, I met 3 drunk English guys who decided to go directly from party in Sofia to Cherni Vrah and were really shocked that to the top still remain 3-4 hours 😃 When I was leaving, they told that they will catch me (haven't met them 😃). The storm which should be at 7 was still nowhere so I made it to the top with dry legs.

When I was in the hut I can't believe my ears because I heard Czech. It was so strange to speak after month and half to somebody face to face. After 20 minutes after guys left arrived 4 women and we were talking about hour 😃

Meanwhile it started raining outside, so we said goodbye and I was hurrying up to the bivouac. When I saw some flashes, I was running and made it to the bivouac just before semifinals with Canada. I watched the hockey, made a dinner and than a giant storm took place right above me. I was really scared because from the bivouac lead outside at least 2 m long chimney leading directly to the stove, but I survived 😃

Next day I came/ran to city Sapareva Banja, looked at the 3rd place match against USA and just when I had full bag of food, the gorgeous storm arrived, card terminal didn't work so I need to go to cash machine. Just when I finally got there, electricity in all the city fell down and when it started working again, cash machine showed "out of order" (btw it runs on Windows 7) 😃 So I came to tell this to the lady in the shop and just when I came around the cash machine again it changed from "out of order" to "please insert the card" so I was really happy that I will have my food 😃

On the way back a really nice big dog decided to walk with me, got with me to the accommodation and barked and whimpered outside...

Ze Sofie jsem vyrazil opět do kopců, tentokrát do pohoří Vitosha, jejímž nejvyšším vrcholem je Černý vrch (Cherni vrah).

Nejdřív jsem navštívil Bojanský kostel z 9. století, který je na seznamu UNESCO a pak se přesunul do kopců. Po Srbsku to bylo jako zjevení, dobře značené cesty, všude dost vody 😃 Jednu noc jsem strávil pod širákem a asi v půl šesté ráno mě vzbudily rány hromu a když jsem šel vymýt ešus, potkal jsem tři ještě dost ožralé Angličany, kteří se rozhodli jít rovnou z párty nahoru a byli úplně v šoku z mé odpovědi, že jsou to ještě 3-4 hodiny 😃 Na rozloučenou mi odvětili, že mě ještě doženou (už jsem je pak neviděl 😃).

Bouřka se pořád posouvala a tak jsem suchou nohou dorazil až na vrchol a když jsem si v chatě objednával polívku a pivo, nevěřil jsem svým uším, protože jsem od jednoho stolu slyšel češtinu. Byl to strašný nezvyk si po měsíci a půl s někým pokecat naživo česky 😃 To jsem ještě netušil, že chlapi za asi 20 minut vystřídají 4 ženské, se kterými jsem vykládal asi hodinu 😃

Venku mezitím začalo pršet, rozloučili jsme se s holkama a já valil dolů na bivak. Když se po cestě začalo blýskat, místy jsem v pohorkách i běžel a na bivak jsem došel těsně před začátkem semifinále s Kanadou. Kouknul jsem na hokej, uvařil večeři a pak se strhla opravdu šílená bouřka, přímo nade mnou a z bivaku trčely ven z kamen asi 2 metry komína, ale přežil jsem 😃

Následující den jsem došel/doběhl do Sapareva Banja, podíval se na zápas o 3. místo s Američany a zrovna, když jsem měl v obchodě plnou tašku jídla, začala šílená bouřka a nefungoval terminál na karty. Tak jsem běžel pro hotovost, ale v tom se vypla všude elektřina včetně bankomatu, který po načtení zahlásil, že je out of order (mimochodem běží na Windows 7) 😃 Tak jsem to šel říct paní do obchodu a když jsem pak znova procházel kolem bankomatu, najednou se z out of order změnil na "please insert the card", tak jsem radostně letěl zpátky do obchodu pro svůj proviant 😃

Cestou zpátky se mě pak chytil strašně hodný velký pejsek, který šel se mnou až k ubytování a pak hodně dlouho štěkal a kňučel venku...

I love this snap, it is so lovely.

So wait for the article about Pirin mountains, I slept in a bivouac which is right in front of impressive north face of Vihren mountain!

It's a very beautiful place.
Very enjoyable trip.

Thank you 🙂 But it's nothing compared to next 2 weeks in Rila and Pirin mountains, wait for it 🙂

Je vidět, že sis to nečekané setkání s krajankami opravdu užil :)
