Tour Itinerary
We set off towards Troyan and the village of Cherni Osam (the Smesite locality). Our walk to the Ambaritsa hut starts from here. The path is steep, but within any hillwalker's reach. We will reach the hut in about 3 hours at an easy pace. The views that open up from the hut are worth every step. We settle in, and it is time to rest. At the end of the day, if the group would like to, we will climb Momina Mogila (1,590 m) for the sunset; it lies about 20 minutes from the hut.
Breakfast, then we kit up and head for Ambaritsa. The climb takes about 3 to 4 hours and will depend a great deal on the snow conditions. We follow the winter waymarks along the rib of the Dalgiya Dyal. First we reach Malka Ambaritsa (2,143 m). From here it is only a short way to our objective, Ambaritsa peak (2,166 m). We will stay long enough for photographs, and then descend back to the hut. A short rest, we collect the rest of our luggage and set off back to the transport.
