Bulgaria Mount Vihren Summit, Bulgaria

  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
Mount Vihren (2.914m) is the second highest peak of Bulgaria, the third highest peak in the Balkan Peninsula. It is situated in the heart of the Pirin Nationalpark. From the parking lot at the Vihren Mountain Hut (1.920m), the trail takes around 3h and covers around 1.000m elevation gain. The trail is well marked.

Attention: It's recommended to go up the southwestern slopes which are still quite steep. The northern slopes are only for very advanced mountaineers, especially in snowy and windy conditions. Please take care.

Photography Tips

There is a wonderful 360 mountain panorama up at the summit overlooking the national park. In clear days the mountains of Greece can easily be spottet. The summit has a spectacular view in the direction of both, sunset and sunrise.

Travel Information

Please check the weather conditions for Mount Vihren before attempting the hike to the summit. Vihren is well known for its harsh weather, especially the winds can be brutal due to the exposed pyramid likely peak. In snowy conditions it's recommended to only hike up when being experienced with snowy ground on steep slopes. The hike takes you pretty much straight up with barely any flat parts. Plan enough time for breaks and water.
