Exceptional excursion - Fantastic experience
Despite the cold and the heavy snow Dobrin did everything to be able to make this hike.
We traveled a long time in the snow and walked through the high snow
Dobrin is an exceptional, helpful and kind guide
We also did an unscheduled taking me to see the Arch of Liberty placed in the Balkan mountains difficult to reach because of the heavy snowfall.
Thanks for everything Dobrin
