Baikushev's Pine

Highlight • Natural Monument

On our 6th Pirin stage from the hut Virhen back to Bansko we unfortunately did not take the way entry to the oldest tree in Bulgaria (estimated 1300 years) and do not regret the short way up.

We did this hike on a hot September day and the conditions were very dry, in any other conditions I would only recommend expert hikers do it. Also, be warned …

View of Pirin Mountains

Highlight • Viewpoint

The effort to the summit Vihren is worthwhile. With every altitude, the view becomes more poignant. It took us eight hours to get there because we had two children with us. Others made it to six. We recommend!
