Kom Peak

Kom Peak, Mountain summit in the Balkan Mountains, Sofia Province, Bulgaria

Kom Peak, also called Golyam Kom, is the highest summit of the Berkovska Planina in the western Balkan Mountains, reaching 2,015.8 metres south of Berkovitsa. With the lower Sreden Kom and Malak Kom to the east it forms a west–east ridge: a rounded grassy crest, a steep rocky northern slope and a gentler grassy southern slope.

Kom Peak gives its name to the Kom–Emine path, the Bulgarian section of European walking route E-3, which starts at the summit and follows the main ridge of the Balkan Mountains. The peak is one of the 100 Tourist Sites of Bulgaria, listed together with the ethnographic museum in Berkovitsa; the stamp is kept at the Kom-nova chalet. An annual off-road race, also called Kom–Emine, sets off from the summit.

The peak is also called Golyam Kom (Big Kom). A stone plaque with a bas-relief of writer Ivan Vazov and verses from his poem "On Kom" stands near the summit, honouring the view that inspired him. The peak is one of the 100 Tourist Sites of Bulgaria; the stamp is at Kom-nova chalet.

The ascent from Kom chalet takes roughly two hours, while paths from Petrohan Pass or nearby villages require about three hours to reach the summit. Sturdy footwear and weather preparation are important on the exposed ridges.

The Nishava and Visochitsa rivers both rise east of the summit; the Nishava is a major tributary of the South Morava. A Bulgarian mineral water brand carries the peak's name, and Kom Glacier on the Fallières Coast of Antarctica is named after it.
