**Pirin Pathfinders Bansko: The Hidden Forest Adventure** Ready to swap the ordinary for the extraordinary? Join Pirin Pathfinders Bansko for a thrilling off-the-beaten-track forest hike that’s as wild as it is rewarding. Expect steep climbs, hands-on scrambling, and secret forest trails leading to breath-stealing vistas over the charming town of Bansko. You’ll need good fitness—and a sense of adventure. Our journey kicks off with a dramatic ascent up a magical river gorge, the kind of place where every turn begs for a photo. Along the way, we’ll uncover a hidden gem: a secret chapel tucked quietly among the trees, waiting to be discovered. After a quick pause to catch our breath, it’s time for the final push—through whispering forests up to the summit of Chalin Valog. Here, the world opens up before you: panoramic, uninterrupted views stretching across the majestic Pirin, Rila, and Rhodope mountain ranges. Camera at the ready! And then, the real fun begins—scrambling back down through wild, off-trail forest paths, making our way towards well-earned refreshment. We wrap up with a relaxing stop at Peshterite Restaurant, the perfect place to recharge, toast your achievement, and share stories of the trail, before heading home through the forest and back to Bansko. **Details:** * Duration: circa 5 hours (depending on pace) * Distance: \~13 km * Required: Solid footwear, a day pack with plenty of water, advisable to bring a walking stick/pole, and a taste for adventure!
