I had an amazing time climbing Vitosha mountain with Avi as my tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable, skilled as a mountain guide, and interesting to talk to. It was a nice climb: we ended up doing 19.5km of walking, 32,000 steps, and 1500 meters of elevated climbing. I think I would describe it as a moderately difficulty climb. You definitely need good trail shoes, as there are a lot of rocks paths for which normal running shoes wouldn't be suitable. Furthermore, a water bottle, sunglasses, sun screen and bug spray are also necessities. Most people can complete it, but you will definitely feel it in your legs at the end of the day. Overall, I had an awesome time, and the breath-taking view of Sofia at the summit makes the trek totally worthwhile! Thanks again Avi!
