Ah, great choice for hiking! It's usually super busy especially on the weekends, so glad to see you could experience it with less trafffic down the trails :) There's a lot more opportunities for hiking around Bulgaria, some more taxing than others, but still an amazing experience an views. Hope you had a great time!

Rila is the tallest peak at all over Balkans and east Europe if we exceed the Caucasus that placed in Eurasia. The second tallest mount it’s Olympus in Greece for only seven meters difference from Rila

Hey, love the video! The area is stunning. I have a question; do you need to book the mountain huts in advance or can you just show up? Thanks!

when exactly did you do the hike? we have now also read that the stage between Ribni Izera and 7 lakes is partly dangerous because of the narrow paths steep slopes. how did you perceive it?

I would not like to sleep with others in a cabin. Can you sleep in a tent there?

Hated the music, I pressed mute. May I also suggest exploring the various editing links on iPhone, other than simple jump cuts, and that you try panning the camera s-l-o-w-l-y when filming landscapes and detailed interiors. The content is interesting, the formatting less so.

@Josh-Reid Жыл бұрын

The music is traditional Bulgarian music and is what was played at some of the refuges so I thought it fit quite well. But yes out of context I could see it being annoying. I tend to stick to jump cuts as they work the best the other iPhone cuts can look tacky if not used in certain situations. I’ll work on the panning.

@@Josh-Reid its not traditional. This is gypsy music. Bulgarian traditional folklor music is much different. Also didnt like the music.
