26 km Solo Hike to Highest Mountain of Bulgaria (Musala)

Those are some nice shots! What drone do you use?

Amazing, such a beautiful shot. Thanks for sharing this view of my country!

***The highest peak on the Balkan Mountain Range

Would you climb this mountain? Or did you already maybe?

Wow bloody incredible views man

great production value, amazing shots👀 it really looks like a different world up there heh

Great video Tim. I just climbed the Vichren in the Pirin National Park last week and wanted to climb Musala the next day, as I was running out of time. But Vichren already killed me (so much bouldering and snow - without hiking poles and snow spikes) so I switched to the 7 lakes of Rila instead, to have a relaxing beautiful hike. So actually I am more than thankful that you filmed your climb of Musala. It looks so beautiful and is definitely on my list but you just gave me some kind of satisfaction with your video. Great filming and editing of a wonderful adventure! Looking forward to your next one. Cheers, Mario

Very good vlog and drone shots

my gosh doing a Marathon of your video, pretty weird that chick just come out of nowhere with the English translator and that was funny

Didn’t seem more difficult than Moldoveanu Pick, was it?

Nice video

Great trip report. Still plenty of snow. I like to hike solo, but mountain rescue is too expensive anyways, so no point of sharing my location.

Actually the mountain is called "Рила"(Rila) and the mountaintop is called "Мусала"(Musala), but otherwise a great video!

I really want to climb it, I am from Romania and just climbed Moldoveanu peak.

It is the highest peak in the Balkans. Higher than anything in your favorite Romania. Musala is not a mountain but a peak in Rila Mountain. There are more challenging hikes in Rila. Not difficult to find out.

First tip of solo hikes is never rely on cellphone reception. In general solo hikes are a bad idea. If you grow up in a country with no mountains, you understestimate the mountains. I know your countrymen, so talking from experience.

great video. thanks when exactly did you do the hike?

I love the “fucking mosquitos” bit 😂😂😂 thank you very much I’m a med student from plovdiv and the guide will help a lot Greta video and scenes thanks

i like your choice of shoes😆

Wow

Tim, thank you it was great! I ve done the 5lakes trail at Pirin, it was also amazing.. all except the chairlift which was scary. (Am i the only one who hate them? cause i see everybody so calm on them, are they on drugs or snth? 😅 ) Its in my plans Musala peak and 7lakes at Rila.Thank you for the gps track. Do you have one for the 7lakes too? Cause i cannot find one without lift.

Greetings from Bulgaria, i made the same mistake taking the river trial and was tired at the way back so i took the lift from Yastrebetz.

I am planning to do this hike next month.
Can you tell me what watch are you using?

Hello. Hello. What month did you climb Musal?

Perfect video

I had no idea one could climb to the top of Musala in shorts...

Hiya Tim do you remember which month or date you went by any chance?

dobar

not sure why you ppl dont take shoes off ...pull up pants and go through the water..aint that hard

Great video! Let me correct you: the ottomans didn’t name the Musala peak. They just translated the name: Ra-do-bill. It means A hill close to God. In Turkish: mus-allah is just the same but because of so many years of the ottomans and the Turkish governing Bulgaria, that name stick.
