During the cold winter days it is extremely important to spend time and money in ensuring the right equipment from head to toe. In the literal sense of the word.

Whether because of the quiet beauty it brings or the favourite for some people cold weather, or simply because of the possibility of practicing  winter sports, winter is a favorite season for many people.

For the warmer months, it is also important to use the three-layered dress rule.

 We have told you before that we at Extreme Sport love summer tourism in the mountains. Up there, on the high, close to the sky and far away from the city and its fast pace. That is why in the middle of July we planned a one-day hike in Rila together with our friends from Trekking.bg. This time we chose the picturesque and interesting part of Rila - Malyovishki. Dotted by peaks over 2500 m high, mountain lakes, massifs and incredible views. The goal for our day was to reach the peaks Popova Kapa, Kupenite, Lovnitsa, passing through the beautiful lakes - Yonchovo and Scary Lake.
