TRAVESIA DE LOS MONTAÑAS PIRIN (BULGARIA)
20-JUL-2018: From Predel (Bansko) to hitza Yavorov. Crossing of the Pirin Mountains (Stage 1 of 5).
From Bansko, a city famous for being one of the most important ski resorts in Bulgaria, you have to take a taxi to Predel, which is a crossroads (about 15 km away), or take one of the buses that leave for Sofia, up to a stop near said crossing.
The tour is described in detail on Walk 7 Day 1 of the book WALKING IN BULGARIA'S NATIONAL PARKS by Julian Perry - a Cicerone Guide (photo of the cover is attached).
The paper map of the Pirin mountains used has a scale of 1: 50,000, is titled Pirin and is from the Domino publishing house (a photo of the cover is attached).

The stages that make up the trek, all uploaded to Wikiloc, are the following five:
20-JUL-2018: From Predel (Bansko) to hitza Yavorov. Crossing of the Pirin Mountains (Stage 1 of 5).
21-JUL-2018: From hitza Yavorov to hitza Vihren. Crossing of the Pirin Mountains (Stage 2 of 5).
22-JUL-2018: From hitza Vihren to hitza Demianitsa. Crossing of the Pirin Mountains (Stage 3 of 5).
23-JUL- 2018: From hitza Demianitsa to hitza Pirin. Crossing of the Pirin Mountains (Stage 4 of 5).
24-JUL-2018: From hitza Pirin to Melnik. Crossing of the Pirin Mountains (Stage 5 of 5).

The hitzas are mountain shelters, generally throwing basic, which can provide mountaineers of pernota (include as standard the sheets), dinner, breakfast and take-away food for the next day's walk, always according to menu, since no There is half board as is usual in European shelters. They can be booked through the government agency of Tourism of Bulgaria.
In 2018 when I prepared this trip I could not find the entire tracks of any of the 5 stages, although some pieces. This is the reason why these 5 tracks upload to wikiloc. The stages follow a mix of different routes marked in the Pirin National Park. In the design of each stage has been taken into account, both to pass through the most impressive places, lakes and peaks, as the general orientation of the road, starting from the north, from the city of Bansko, to reach the south to the city of Melnik, near the Greek border and Mount Olympus in the background, with the information of the book mentioned above.
