Dzhano

Dzhano, Mountain summit in Pirin range, Bulgaria

Dzhano is a 2,668 m peak on the main ridge of Pirin, between Demirkapia Saddle and Chengelchal. It is built of porphyry granite blocks and covered in moraines rather than rock. From the summit the main ridge turns south toward Chengelchal, while the short Dzhangalitsa ridge runs north to Sivria. Its slopes drop into the Kremenski, Kamenishki and Demirkapia cirques.

The peak was renamed Orlovets during Bulgaria's Revival Process, the assimilation campaign of the 1980s, but the new name did not take hold. Mountaineers and maps kept using Dzhano, the name the summit still carries.

Hikers call the narrow, rocky stretch of the main ridge south of Dzhano toward Chengelchal "Little Konche", after the Bulgarian word for horse. The name Dzhano itself is not explained in the sources, and the Revival-era renaming to Orlovets never took hold among local people.

Reaching this summit requires proper hiking gear and good fitness levels because the route presents varying degrees of difficulty. Plan your visit during warmer months when conditions are more stable for mountain travel.

Dzhano is not rocky but covered with moraines, and it is built of porphyry granite blocks. The main ridge turns south at the summit, while the short Dzhangalitsa ridge branches north toward Sivria (2,591 m). The rocky, narrow stretch of ridge toward Chengelchal is called "Little Konche" by some hikers.
