Best Hike in Bulgaria! | Vihren Peak in Pirin National Park (Bansko, Bulgaria)

Join us as we explore beautiful Bulgaria! Bansko, Bulgaria is a popular ski town in the winter that turns into an incredible hiking town in the summer from June to September. We hiked Vihren Peak, Bulgaria’s second-tallest mountain located in the Pirin Mountains. This area is part of Pirin National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Bansko is a popular digital nomad town and each year Bansko Nomad Fest is hosted here!

🧭 ABOUT US
Hi! We are Helen and Tim. We are adventure travelers that saved up some money to travel full-time in Jan 2023. We are based in Portland, Oregon, and have been together for over 10+ years. We share a love for the great outdoors through hiking, camping, skiing, surfing, and more! We grew up in Dallas, Texas (Helen) & DuBois, Pennsylvania (Tim).

Our goal is to hike the world one mountain at a time. There is so much in the world to see, even if it is in our own backyards. We started filming our adventures in the PNW, which has evolved into filming our international travels.

Thanks for watching! We will see you on the next trail! 🥾
