Breakfast at Alejo Hut as basic as dinner in the evening, is a shame, a good refuge but very basic restoration. There is a television group making recordings in the area, on the way up we go to the group. Slow ascent that in almost 500 m. It takes us to the top of the Black Pic where there is a shelter that Milena, a nice girl, looks after, nothing to do with the two guards at Aleko Hut who seemed to be sparing our lives. We have a coffee and a chocolate bar and chat a bit with her while we rest from the climb. Before starting the long descent that takes us to Yarlovo, first through a deforested area leaving the province of Sofia city and entering the province of Pernik, although then we return to the province of Sofia, following the summit of the Vitosha mountain, until we reach At a point where we separated from the E4 due to logistics problems, there was no accommodation for 40 km. So we decided to leave the red E4 sign and take the yellow route that runs along the Yarkovsky hill, until we pass a pass between pines, which goes down to Yarlovo, in a children's playground where a girl enjoys a swing we enjoy its fountain and from its benches to eat something and gather strength for the second part of the stage, already on the plain. We leave Yarlovo and take a path almost in a straight line that advances up to 8 km., Ends in a road that we follow for another eight kilometers, quite dangerous due to the lack of a hard shoulder, which in the end takes us to today's accommodation, a family With four girls who runs an accommodation on the Belchin road, a good place to spend the night, the owner Milene is a very nice and nice guy. Good beer, good dinner and a few glasses of Raika, the typical Bulgarian pomace-like drink. A good time of chat, a few laughs and to bed, tomorrow a hard stage awaits us until the Lovna cabin.
