Kamenitsa Peak

Standing at 2,822 meters, Kamenitsa Peak features exposed granite blocks covered in lichens and extends along a 22-kilometer secondary ridge in the Pirin mountains.

The mountain's name derives from the Bulgarian word for stone fields, referring to the extensive moraines that accumulated below its northern face over geological periods.

The peak forms part of Bulgaria's mountaineering tradition, with climbers recording their ascents through the Top 10 Peak Challenge recognition program.

The main climbing routes start from Tevno Ezero shelter, covering 20.3 kilometers with an elevation gain of 1,217 meters through unmarked paths.

Kamenitsa Peak includes a distinctive western rock formation called Kamenishka Kukla, reaching 2,717 meters and creating a characteristic silhouette against the mountain range.
