Today was the last of a few beautiful and sunny days in a row and we had to go out and enjoy the sun and the clean air, especially now, with the heavy levels of air pollution in Sofia.
We chose a light and open trail that we've walked so many times, that it feels like home - from the village of Plana to peak Manastirishte and back along an alternative track.
The sky was surrealistically blue, the air was crisp and the trail was empty - the perfect hike.
Hike info:Destination: peak Manastirishte (1338 m)
Mountain: Plana
Total length: 8 km
Elevation gain: 160 m
Total duration (plus picnic): 3 hours
Average difficulty: 3 / 10
Me-made items, worn on this hike:
Husband: boxers, Burda cargo pants, Burda hoodie, orange hat
I: lingerie, Sinclair Lotte Blouse, Central Park Hoodie, black hat, knitted socks
Because of the relatively high temperatures these last few days, we expected soft soggy snow and mud, but the trail was actually not that bad - there were strips of deep wet snow, but most of the trail was fairly dry and we were not soaking wet at the end.
We took a few quick photos at the peak and turned back

This is a picture I took from our picnic place - on the sunny slopes under the peak. We had a cup of warm herbal tea with a sip of rum and oatmeal pie with feta cheese, which I baked early in the morning.
