I continue with the mountain
series with a post about Musala peak (2,925 m/9,596 ft, the highest one in
Bulgaria and on the Balkan Peninsula) on the Day of Rila Mountains, where the
peak is situated. A few days before the weekend I and a friend of mine, with
whom I will climb Kilimandjaro (the third in the group) talk about going to
Musala peak. He comes with some friends, I come with some friends and 10-15
minutes after the appointed hour we gather in front of the gondola – a group of
ten. Today and tomorrow happens to be the Day of Rila Mountains and of Musala
peak, as well. The two way ticket is discounted and a lot of people have come
to celebrate and to make use of the discount. But really, there is a lot of
people, especially for the summer/low season for the Borovets resort. We get
off at the last station of the gondola, get to know those who we don't know in our group, prepare
ourselves and head out to the peak.
