Today we decided to make our annual climb of Cherni Vrug, Vitosha's summit. We used to climb it along the shorter and steeper trail from Aleko, but during the last several year we found that we actually prefer the slow and gradual climb along the much longer "King's road".
The day was sunny but windy and with some chill in the air, very pleasant for a hike in the high mountains.

We climbed the longer main trail, passing by peaks Maluk Rezen and Golyam Rezen.
Me-made items, worn on this hike:
We had our lunch on the peak, sitting on a couple of rocks, sheltered by the wind, with a view to Golyam Rezen, Skoparnika and many other peaks.
On our way back we decided to try and climb Golyam Rezen. The entire area around the peak was a military zone and was with restricted access, but the barbed wire, that guarded the place is now removed. Being uncertain of the state of the place, we entered the zone, found the peak, took a few pictures there and left quickly - out seventh peak from Vitosha's dozen.
