The upper part of the trail starts with rocky sections and steep switchbacks with loose rocks. In the middle, the switchbacks become easier and with less rocks. In the end, you can either cut the switchbacks with the many possible lines, or just continue practicing them. The last part of the route is the returning back to Boyana district. The trail is used by hikers, so be careful

      How do you get to the top of the trail? Is it possible to use the chairlift? Anyone has a strava link for a route of climbing+descending?
      Thanks
