Welcome to an unforgettable adventure to Krusto Peak, one of the hidden gems of Plana Mountain, strategically located in the picturesque Sofia region. While not as famous as the neighboring peaks of Vitosha, Krusto offers a unique combination of easy access, tranquility, and breathtaking panoramic views that will leave you spellbound. The ascent to Krusto Peak is relatively easy, making it ideal for a family outing, a picnic in nature, or simply an escape from the urban hustle. Trails typically start from surrounding villages like Plana or Zheleznitsa, winding through lush meadows and shady forests where you can enjoy the clean mountain air and rich flora and fauna. Along the way, you'll encounter various wild flowers and might even spot some mountain wildlife. From Krusto Peak itself, at an altitude of approximately 1561 meters, a grandiose 360-degree panorama unfolds before you. To the north, you'll see the vast Sofia field, and beyond it – the majestic Balkan Mountains. To the west, Vitosha proudly rises, and to the south – the snow-capped peaks of Rila Mountain. This is an ideal spot for photography, meditation, and recharging with positive energy. We recommend visiting Krusto in spring, when nature awakens, or in autumn, when the forest erupts in golden and red hues. Don't forget to wear comfortable shoes, bring water, and a camera. Krusto Peak is one of those places that stays in your heart long after you've left, inviting you to return again and again. Discover the magic of Plana Mountain!
