We managed to reach Vihren, first time all 4 of us to the top, together. Vihren is 2914 meters, and one of the more difficult peaks for rookie hikers in Bulgaria. The path we took had about 1100 meters elevation gain, which was the highest for me this year.
The little one, aged 7, successfully climbed both Musala and Vihren in a single year, an achievement I accomplished at 47. But it came at a price, the kids got way too tired. I doubt they’ll be interested in another hike this year.
This was not part of any grand plan. I just wanted to reach a peak with nobody dropping out.
