I've been going on a lot of hikes lately. It helps me to slow down and get out of my head.
In Japan they have a word for this: forest bathing, or Shinrin-Yoku. It means healing through being immersed in nature.
It’s about taking your time, wandering, listening to the birds singing, smelling the pine trees, and feeling the breeze on your skin. Taking in the forest through all your senses. Connecting with nature in this way can be a bridge to instant joy and calm.
Join me on a solo hike in the Pirin Mountains (Bulgaria)!
– ABOUT PIRIN NATIONAL PARK –
Pirin National Park, known in Bulgarian as Национален парк "Пирин", is located in the Pirin Mountains. It was originally named Vihren National Park and is located in the southwest of Bulgaria.
In 1962, when Pirin National Park was established, it covered 67.36 km2. Over the years, its territory was expanded many times over, until it reached its current area of 403.56 km2.
This park holds significant importance, as it is one of the three national parks in the country, the others being Rila National Park and Central Balkan National Park.
It has been honored with UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 1983.
