For those who know me it’s not a secret that I love the mountains. That’s why in today’s video I’ll take you with me and my friends to my favourite hut in Bulgaria - Vasil Levski Hut. It’s located in the central part of Stara Planina.
I often visit the hut. You can’t drive there, the way there is not hectic which is a huge advantage for me. The route starts from the town of Karlovo and isn’t heavy at all. It takes about 4 and a half hours to get there along a road well marked with blue and white signs.
At the start, until you reach”The Barrage“, there’s a steeper climb, after which the trail is flat. It winds along the river and is very beautiful in all seasons. Before reaching Vasil Levski Hut you pass two other cosy huts where you can refresh yourself with some soup and tea. The first one is Hubavets Hut, which is about two and a half hours’ walking from Karlovo. The second one is Balkan Roses Hut - about 50 minutes’ walking from Hubavets Hut.
At Vasil Levski Hut polite hosts are Yana and Valko, who are always ready to treat us to some warm soup, aromatic herbal tea and to greet us with a smile.
I’m all for Vasil Levski Hut with friends in all seasons. That’s it!
I’m Lora. Have a nice journey! :)
