Polovrak on a Gorgeous October Day

Today was again one of those days, when, after a spell of rainy and cold weather, we managed to free a work day and go on a hike on a spectacularly sunny and warm day, that simply could not be wasted in a cold and dark work room. 

We chose a nearby trail, which we frequent at least twice a year, and the feeling of hiking after more than half a month of staying put, was truly exhilarating for me.

A short stop at the beautiful grounds of Lozen monastery, which is situated along the trail to peak Polovrak.

Hike info:

Date: 15 October 2024

Destination: peak Polovrak (1182 m)

Mountain: Lozen

Total length: 10.5 km

Elevation gain: 420 m

Total duration (plus picnic and rests): approx. 3 h 20 min

Average difficulty: 3 / 10

 

The final climb - the peak, which is usually crowded on weekends, was completely empty. There were actually no people on the trail and we enjoyed our picnic on the peak in complete quietude and tranquility.

Me-made items, worn on this hike:

Husband: boxers, Burda cargo pants, Burda longsleeve

I: lingerie, Sabrina Slims III, Burda blouse, Central Park knitted hoodie

The sun was strong, so we slowly ate our sandwiches and basked in its warmth. I hope that this autumn has in store at least a few more such sunny days.
