Kamen Del, Mountain summit in Vitosha, Bulgaria
Kamen Del is a summit in the Vitosha mountain range rising to roughly 1,862 meters, with a large stone field covering its northern slope. The open terrain is marked by rocky outcrops that connect to several established hiking trails.
Kamen Del is a peak of andesite, a rock formed by volcanic activity, with slopes reaching up to 40 degrees. Its northern slope is partly covered by a stone sea about one kilometre across. A flat col links it to Ushite Peak (1,960 m) to the south, where a small refuge stands on the track between Aleko and Zlatnite Mostove.
The name Kamen Del means 'Stone Piece' in Bulgarian, and streets in Sofia's Gardova Glava and Dragalevtsi quarters carry it. The flat col south of the summit holds a small refuge on the track between Aleko and Zlatnite Mostove, the two most popular tourist sites on Vitosha, so walkers between them pass below the peak.
The summit is accessible via several marked hiking routes, including paths starting from the Aleko alpine hut area. Visitors should wear weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear since the rocky terrain can be slippery.
The northern slope is covered by a stone sea about one kilometre long, a field of broken andesite blocks rather than geometric formations. A flat col links the peak to Ushite Peak at 1,960 m, where a small refuge stands on the track between Aleko and Zlatnite Mostove.
