Pasarel Reservoir and Lanina Mogila

This Sunday we decided to try a new to us trail in the Lozen mountain - from Pasarel reservoir, by the summerhouse area of Pasarel up the meadows and hills of Lozen to Lanina Mogila peak. We've climbed Lanina Mogila (1188 m) twice from the north, starting from the village of Lozen and I was curious to visit the southern parts of the mountain and approach the peak from the south, as we did yesterday.
