The hike was organized by the mountain guides of the “Mountains and People” Association on the route from the village of Govedartsi to the village of Dobursko. We passed via Mechit hut, Mechit Peak, Kobilino Branishte shelter, Vodniya Chal Ridge, Fish Lakes hut. Because of the high degree of avalanche danger the group descended to the Rila Monastery and later a part of it ascended from Bodrost hut towards Macedoniya hut where from it followed the route to the village of Dobursko.

The avalanches have taken one victim these days in Pirin. Safety in the mountains is often underestimated. Avalanche safety gear and equipment consisting of avalanche transceiver, drill and avalanche shovel should be always supported by much intelligence and adequate situation assessment!
