The col of Koncheto might be considered one of the biggest challenges for mountain climbers and tourists, who decide to visit the Pirin Mountain region.
Koncheto is located between the peaks of Banski Souhodol and Koutelo II. The altitude is 2800 m. This natural formation happens to be a rocky edge that connects the two peaks. Its length reaches 150 m and its narrowest portion is 50 cm wide. Alternative paths can be used to cross the same region but overcoming Koncheto will bring you unknown adrenaline rush.
Going over the edge could be a truly scary experience. Yet, managing to cross from one peak to the other will rejuvenate you. Such feeling can hardly ever be experienced in urban surroundings.
Many people have crossed Koncheto and all of them remember the experience in tiny details.
A shelter has been constructed in the area. Most visitors recommend sleeping there only in case of emergency. The shelter happens to be a shack, constructed on the edge of the cliff. It has few beds and blankets.
If you decide to spend the night there, you must bring candles, water, food and sleeping bags. Even during the summer, the temperatures in the region remain low. Have in mind that the shelter lacks electricity, running water and toilet facilities.
