Itinerary description
In general: just follow the GPS route.
1. Take the cable car from Qafqaz hotel Kabala to Durja and than further up the mountain to the highest point of the Kabala skiing area (this is where the track starts).
2. Descent the skiing slope for about 10 minutes until you reach saddle in the forest ridge. Here the ridge goes up again.
3. Scramble to the top of the ridge and follow the ridge. At some sections you will find a small trail on top of the ridge. The section in the forest is the most technical part of the hike and can be slippery, also there are some steep cliffs on both sides of the ridge.
4. Follow the ridge until you reach the fields above the tree line.
5. At a certain point above the tree line a trail from the valley will join. This trail is the trail you will take later to return into the valley. From this point on the trail becomes much more clear.
6. More trails are running up and down the mountains, but just follow the main mountain ridge until you reach the highest point of the track at about 2800 m.
7. Return into the valley via the other trail until you reach the middle station of the cable car. Return by cable car to the hotel.
