Today we returned from a hike on Vitosha, but I still haven't published the photos from our last week's hike to peak Tumba on Cherna gora mountain.
We started from the village of Planinitza and walked to the peak and back along the same route. The trail is fairly easy, with a lot of climbing and descending between hills along dirt tracks.
Everything was green and the meadows were packed with summer flowers, butterflies, beetles and all other kinds of flying and crawling creatures.
Hike info:Date: 13 June 2026
Destination: peak Tumba (1129 m)
Mountain: Cherna Gora
Total length: 14 km
Elevation gain: 230 m
Total duration (plus picnic): 4 hours and a half
Average difficulty: 4 / 10
The track passes by the oats fields of the village of Planinitza - the green sea of crops was really impressive
We saw plenty of wild strawberry plants, but only a single patch with ripe strawberries, and of course - we had a handful.
Finally on the peak. We met absolutely no one along the trail to the peak and back, which was surprising, given that it was a Saturday
Me-made items, worn on this hike:
I: lingerie, Burda blouse, Burda color jeans
Husband: men's boxershorts, Burda cargo pants, Burda T-shirt, Burda hoodie in the backpack
We had our picnic on a nice spot, overlooking the mountains across, with a patch of fragrant wild thyme at our side. Tortillas with cold beer and homemade muffins with coffee - nothing beats a well deserved picnic with a view :)
There is a new information board at the entrance of the village, which indicates trails, missing on the map of the Bulgarian mountains we use on our phones. We might give it a go and try them next time we visit here.
