The next section of the Kom-Emine trail was to cross the Great Balkan National Park which started roughly at the Momina Poljana hut below the Paskal mountain. This is when the weather started to change and we had a day off due to the downpour the next day and then we went to the Vezen hut and on to the Eho hut. The day to the Eho hut was touch and go as the weather came in again and it looked like the clouds would build up and produce thunder and lightning ( not something you should be in on a mountain ridgeline). However the weather held and gave some really atmospheric photographic shots. Unfortunately the weather changed that night and for the next four days it was very foggy (Mugwa in Bulgarian and very appropriate) and rainy. Eventually we had to take a chance and traversed a very tricky, rocky ridgeline with the horses to the Kozja Stena hut. Only a two-hour trek but it rained cats and dogs! After that another day of fog and a failed attempt to pass the Kozja Stena limestone mountain; perhaps in good weather we could have passed but time was running out and both Marian and I decided it was time to call it quits and descend to the valley. Oh well đŸ˜¦ (but  at least I wasn’t going home in a coffin :-)) and the trek to this point had been quite an adventure.
