Типиците, Mountain summit in Pirin National Park, Bulgaria.
Tipitsite is a group of three summits on the main ridge of Pirin, between Vazela and Prevalski chukar. They form the western, southern and eastern rim of the Tipitski cirque, which holds two large permanent lakes and one small one that dries up. The highest, Golyam Tipits, reaches 2,645 m southwest of the lakes; the second, Malak Tipits, is 2,644 m; the third stands at 2,633 m.
The three peaks of Tipitsite are part of the main ridge of Pirin, between Vazela and Prevalski chukar. The highest, Golyam Tipits (2645 m), and its neighbours enclose the Tipitski cirque, which holds two permanent lakes and one that dries up. The saddle between the first two peaks is rocky and crossed by the red-marked trail from Vihren hut to Tevno ezero shelter.
The name Tipitsite comes from the three peaks that enclose the Tipitski cirque, which holds two large permanent lakes and one small one that dries up. The highest peak, Golyam Tipits, is 2,645 m; the second, Malak Tipits, is 2,644 m; the third is 2,633 m. The red-marked trail from Vihren hut to Tevno ezero shelter crosses the rocky saddle between the first two peaks.
Hikers need sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing, as conditions at the top are noticeably harsher than at lower elevations. The climb demands physical preparation and experience with mountain terrain.
The third Tipits, 2633 m, is rarely visited despite lying close to one of Pirin's most popular marked trails. Sources also confuse names here: the steep eastern slopes of the second Tipits are wrongly called Golyamata Strana after the peak Prevalski chukar further south.
