Musala peak at 2952 meter above sealevel is the highest mountain peak in Bulgaria but also in the Balkan Peninsula. In this video I climb the peak from the small ski resort town Borovets. As I was quite early in the season the lifts were still closed so I had to hike all the way which ended up being about 25 km with an elevation gain of 1600 meter.
Enjoy watching!

Great video Tim. I just climbed the Vichren in the Pirin National Park last week and wanted to climb Musala the next day, as I was running out of time. But Vichren already killed me (so much bouldering and snow - without hiking poles and snow spikes) so I switched to the 7 lakes of Rila instead, to have a relaxing beautiful hike. So actually I am more than thankful that you filmed your climb of Musala. It looks so beautiful and is definitely on my list but you just gave me some kind of satisfaction with your video. Great filming and editing of a wonderful adventure! Looking forward to your next one. Cheers, Mario

Thanks a lot! I heard Vihren peak is impressive as well. Glad you liked the video!

great production value, amazing shots👀 it really looks like a different world up there heh

@timtense 2 года назад

Thanks, I appreciate it. It's really different there, especially when there's still some snow!

Greetings from Bulgaria, i made the same mistake taking the river trial and was tired at the way back so i took the lift from Yastrebetz.

Great trip report. Still plenty of snow. I like to hike solo, but mountain rescue is too expensive anyways, so no point of sharing my location.

@timtense 2 года назад

Thanks! Yep still some snow but I guess by now it would be less already.

Tim, thank you it was great! I ve done the 5lakes trail at Pirin, it was also amazing.. all except the chairlift which was scary. (Am i the only one who hate them? cause i see everybody so calm on them, are they on drugs or snth? 😅 ) Its in my plans Musala peak and 7lakes at Rila.Thank you for the gps track. Do you have one for the 7lakes too? Cause i cannot find one without lift.

@bozhidargeorgiev581 2 года назад

Actually the mountain is called "Рила"(Rila) and the mountaintop is called "Мусала"(Musala), but otherwise a great video!

Those are some nice shots! What drone do you use?

Perfect video

@raulmitrache1871 2 года назад

I really want to climb it, I am from Romania and just climbed Moldoveanu peak.

@timtense 2 года назад

Go for it. Not sure from where you climbed Moldoveanu but if you did it from Bâlea then Musala is much easier!

@RositsaPetrovarjp7 Год назад

It is the highest peak in the Balkans. Higher than anything in your favorite Romania. Musala is not a mountain but a peak in Rila Mountain. There are more challenging hikes in Rila. Not difficult to find out.

@nalxs Год назад

great video. thanks when exactly did you do the hike?

@timtense Год назад

Around mid June as far as I remember

@EricAkif Год назад

I had no idea one could climb to the top of Musala in shorts...

@CosminH7 Год назад

I am planning to do this hike next month. Can you tell me what watch are you using?

@andranicolaescu6669 2 года назад

Didn’t seem more difficult than Moldoveanu Pick, was it?

@timtense 2 года назад

No, actually it was much easier than Moldoveanu 😊

@andranicolaescu6669 2 года назад

@@timtense Hahah I was thinking so 😄

@LienitaZ Год назад

Hello. Hello. What month did you climb Musal?

@AhsanKhan-fq2pq 10 месяцев назад

Hiya Tim do you remember which month or date you went by any chance?

@timtense 4 месяца назад

Yes, it was end of May / beginning of June

@timtense 2 года назад

Would you climb this mountain? Or did you already maybe?

@sisig38 2 года назад

I have already did with my class. We were on a trip years ago. It was interesting. I love my country's nature so much! 😊

@timtense 2 года назад

Awesome. It's magical up there!

@RositsaPetrovarjp7 Год назад

Yes, we have. Many Bulgarians have. Actually Musala is easier than the other peaks in Bulgaria like Vihren and Botev, which are lower but more challenging

@timtense Год назад

@@RositsaPetrovarjp7 I'm glad to hear that. And indeed, it was not super hard to get there! 😅

@giuseppemannino5204 2 года назад

my gosh doing a Marathon of your video, pretty weird that chick just come out of nowhere with the English translator and that was funny

@timtense 2 года назад

Hahahaha yeah she was super friendly though 😂

@RositsaPetrovarjp7 Год назад

First tip of solo hikes is never rely on cellphone reception. In general solo hikes are a bad idea. If you grow up in a country with no mountains, you understestimate the mountains. I know your countrymen, so talking from experience.
