Hotel Babin Zub

Highlight • Rest Area

This tour leads to the highest mountain in Serbia, the 2169m high Midžor (or also called Midshur). The Midžor is located in the "Stara Planina" National Park in the southeast of Serbia on the Bulgarian border. The border between Serbia and Bulgaria runs just above the summit of Midžor. The round-trip from the parking lot "Babin Zub" is about 16 km and depending on the route you have to cope with a difference in altitude of about 700m. A beautiful mountain hike and day tour with medium condition requirements.

View of Stara Planina

Highlight • Viewpoint

Ski lodge right on the ski slope. But even in summer you can stop here and look from the sun loungers into the valley.

Midžor Peak

Highlight • Summit

The highest peak in Serbia. You can reach it from Bulgaria or Serbia. From the Bulgarian side there are two ways to the summit. A normal path (which is pretty easy) and one that is quite strenuous and overgrown (you have to make your own way through the bushes and trees). The view from the top is sooooo beautiful. There are also a lot of hikers from Serbia there.

Highlight • Viewpoint

Take regular short breaks like this to check navigation, hydrate, and just breathe in the scenery — they prevent fatigue and lift morale.
