Gara Lakatnik, Bulgaria in January 2009
Originally uploaded by plepe
There was an especially warm period in Bulgaria nearly one year ago. I and two friends used the opportunity to go for a little hiking trip to Gara Lakatnik, about one hour by train to the North of Sofia. That rock face in the background is easily climbable in about an hour, a socialist monument waiting on the top.
Gara Lakatnik is a village itself, it must have been founded when the train line was built. There’s a village Lakatnik too, some kilometers to the East.
