Bachun and Lanina Mogila 2025

On our Independence Day Gaby, husband and I went for a hike in the nearby village of Lozen, to peak Bachun. 

The weather was absolutely brilliant, sunny and very warm for the second half of September.

The trail to Bachun from Lozen passes through thick beech forests along steep tracks, covered with dead leaves.


Engulfed in chatting with our daughter, we soon climbed to Bachun just in time for lunch.


Me-made items, worn on this hike:
 
Husband: men's boxers, Burda cargo pants
I: lingerie, Burda jeans pants
Gaby: lingerie 

For our picnic in the open we continued to the nearby Middle Bachun, where we enjoyed our tortillas with a view to the chains of peaks of Lozen, Plana and Rila in the distance.

As it was still quite early, we decided to continue our hike along the ridge to the next two peaks - Small lanina Mogila and Lanina Mogila.
