Itinerary

Obidim

We start our journey with a 45-min long transfer to the village of Obidim – a small settlement located at 1200 m on the slopes of Pirin Mountains. This sleepy village is located at 1200 m above sea level and is famous for its great views of the surrounding mountain ranges – Pirin, Rila, Rhodopes and even the Greek mountain of Falakro. A pleasant ascent takes us near some small chapels and through the hills in the foot of Kremenski Peak towards Gotse Delchev Hut. This is the most panoramic section of today’s trip.

Bezbog area

Next to the hut is the bottom lift station of the chair lift that goes up to Bezbog area. We quickly get up to 2240 m, in the heart of Pirin Mountains and Pirin National Park. The views here are completely different – we’ll see the glacial Bezbog Lake and the nearby Bezbog Peak – the little brother of the other steep, rocky, jagged peaks of the area, which form the high alpine part of Pirin – a terrain great for the eagles and the wild goats, but not for biking 🙂

Bansko

And down we go – we’ve got a great long descent, following nice dirt roads and some single tracks until we reach a small artificial dam in the surroundings of Bansko. Luckily, someone opened a restaurant next to the dam and saved many bikers from the sufferings of hunger and dehydration.
