Vihren is the second highest peak in Bulgaria and the Balkan Peninsula. It is a marble peak and that’s why peels up in the sky, even the summer. The ascent is more difficult than the highest peak in the Balkans - peak Musala and rises 1000 meters above Vihren hut. The climb and descent will take about 7-8 hours. Time often spoils, so you should wear thick clothes! The old name of the peak is Eltepe, which becomes from Turkish "el" - wind and "hill" - peak. It is the most gigantic peak in our mountains and steepest among all leaders in Bulgaria.
