About
Fakta singkat: Angin dingin dan kabut di puncak tertinggi sering mengubah lanskap jadi pemandangan hampir lunar, sementara panorama kota di kaki gunung tampil kontras dan menakjubkan. Hamparan 'sungai batu' morain yang dramatis dan ratusan spesies tumbuhan, ditambah jalur hiking mudah diakses, membuatnya tujuan favorit untuk pendakian singkat maupun petualangan alam.
Sorotan: Puncak tertinggi di sana menjulang 2.290 meter, dari batuan granit dan hamparan kerikil terlihat panorama kota yang tenggelam dalam kabut, angin membawa aroma pinus dan bunyi gesek salju di musim dingin. Setiap 1 Januari lebih dari 1.000 pendaki lokal menaiki jalur berbatu sambil membawa lampu dan termos, mereka berkumpul di sekitar stasiun cuaca tua dan menyanyikan lagu sederhana untuk menyambut matahari pertama.
Insider tips
- Wear layered, windproof clothing above 1,700 m, temperatures and wind change rapidly.
- Bring sturdy hiking boots with good grip for rocky and sometimes muddy trails.
- Start hikes before 9am on weekends to avoid queues at Aleko and the chairlift.
- Head to Kamen Del or the ridge near Cherni Vrah for the best city-and-mountain photos; avoid the busiest Aleko picnic area if you want solitude.
