    Great film lads absolutely loved it! 3 years ago was the last time I was there tramping around those mountains... one of the most beautiful places I have walked.
    thanks for sharing a journey and I look forward to getting out there again soon...
    keep up the adventures.
    cheers John 🍻

    Ah, great choice for hiking! It's usually super busy especially on the weekends, so glad to see you could experience it with less trafffic down the trails :) There's a lot more opportunities for hiking around Bulgaria, some more taxing than others, but still an amazing experience an views. Hope you had a great time!

    Hey, love the video! The area is stunning. I have a question; do you need to book the mountain huts in advance or can you just show up? Thanks!

      when exactly did you do the hike? we have now also read that the stage between Ribni Izera and 7 lakes is partly dangerous because of the narrow paths steep slopes. how did you perceive it?

    Hated the music, I pressed mute. May I also suggest exploring the various editing links on iPhone, other than simple jump cuts, and that you try panning the camera s-l-o-w-l-y when filming landscapes and detailed interiors. The content is interesting, the formatting less so.

    • @Josh-Reid
      @Josh-Reid  Před 2 lety

      The music is traditional Bulgarian music and is what was played at some of the refuges so I thought it fit quite well. But yes out of context I could see it being annoying. I tend to stick to jump cuts as they work the best the other iPhone cuts can look tacky if not used in certain situations. I’ll work on the panning.

      @@Josh-Reid its not traditional. This is gypsy music. Bulgarian traditional folklor music is much different. Also didnt like the music.

    Rila is the tallest peak at all over Balkans and east Europe if we exceed the Caucasus that placed in Eurasia. The second tallest mount it’s Olympus in Greece for only seven meters difference from Rila
