Babin Zub, a prominent peak in the Stara Planina mountain range near the Bulgarian-Serbian border, offers a superb destination for nature lovers and hikers, primarily accessible by car to nearby villages like Gorni Lom or Chuprene, followed by well-marked hiking trails. While experienced hikers can explore solo, a local guide is advisable for less seasoned visitors or during challenging weather. The best time to visit for hiking is from late spring to early autumn (May-October), as winter brings heavy snow and requiring specialized equipment and expertise. Costs are generally low, mainly covering transport and personal supplies, as there are no entrance fees for the peak itself; expect to spend a half to full day for the hike, or longer if exploring the wider Chuprene Biosphere Reserve and other nearby peaks like Midžor. This tranquil area provides breathtaking panoramic views, rich biodiversity, and a true escape into wild nature.
