Initially we tried to follow the original route as described here: Bike Trail: Batak Mountains.Unfortunately we did not follow the right direction (west) in the area of Gerdjikova Polqna, instead we headed north-east but finally managed to reach the main dirt road that links Beglika with Karatepe area. We organized our bivouac shortly after we reached the river with a small bridge.On the next day we decided not to follow the route to Bashegrek peak (see 'Razklon - Bashegrek') but instead go to Karatepe area and then follow the main road to Velingrad.Photos: See all pictures and videos from Batashka Planina
