It comprises ancient beech and coniferous forests where the average age of the trees is around 150 years, high-mountain meadows and narrow rocky strips along the main mountain crest. It is part of the E3 European long-distance walking route. The Balkan mountain gives the name of the Balkan Peninsula. This tour offers many opportunities for hiking all year round.
