Lulin, Peak Dupevitza

Yesterday's hike was kind of a repeat of a circular hike we did on Lulin two years ago in December. But in mid April this same mountain looked so different - green, green , green, fresh green everywhere. Quiet and bird songs, it was extraordinary, I loved it immensely.

The snow peaks of Vitosha (closer) and Rila (in the distance) and the villages at the foot of Vitosha:

Rila - the snow there will keep up until June, I suppose

On peak Dupevitza - the highest on Lulin mountain

The paths are so charming, among green bushes, trees in blossom, up and down small hills

The forest part of the path, this part I loved best

A rather peculiar chapel in the forest

We got so engulfed in conversation on our way through the forest that we lost the blue trail and all of a sudden found ourselves back at the beginning of the trail, skipping the Monastery - we must have taken a shortcut of sorts. We should hike Lulin more often, it's a wonderful small mountain.
