Itinerary description
From Borovets we took the lift to (Yastrebets Peak) 2369m and hiked the Summer Trail to Musala Peak (2925m).
Bring warm clothes as the avg. temp. near the peak is around 7C during Summer.
Been there twice - second time with my kids (age 10 and 14). After this I upgraded difficulty from Easy to Moderate because of the steep finish near peak Musala. It's not technically difficult - just takes a bit of effort. But lovely trail and place. I totally love BG.

Followed this trail with my wife and two kids (8 and 13 years old), they all passed it relatively easy. We had to take breaks more often than others on the final ascent to Musala due to the youngest one, and he complained a bit about hurting legs on the return, but overall it went smooth.
Hi Ivan. Glad to hear you had a wonderful trip with your family. We're going to walk Kom peak this year (my wife is from BG).
I love the BG nature and amazing light one can experience in the valleys. Take care. And thanks for your feedback.
