A pleasant ride on the chair lift takes to the Bezbog Mountain Lodge, as this is the setting point for the hiking trek of the Polezhan Summit (2851m). Polezhan is the fifth highest summit in Pirin, and is surrounded by three lakes - Disilishki in the north, Polezhanski in the south and Strazhishki in the west. The summit is tackled via the “classic” route trough the northeast ridge, with moderate difficulty and steepness, except of the very last stage of the summit. The top of Polezhan offers one of the most spectacular panoramic views of Pirin.
Total of ~ 5hrs of walking, climbing and descending 650m.
