Malak Ibar is about 1.6 km to the south and Chemberliya (Borin) about 3 km to the north, with Tsiganski vrah and Ibar to the south and southeast. Musli chal appears on the old Russian topographic maps of the area.
We found no reliable detailed description or route to the summit. The area lies away from the busy paths to Musala.
