The placement of warning signs in Vitosha Park has been considerably delayed

The Vitosha Nature Park Department should have taken measures to prevent the dozens of accidents and the 5 deaths cases on the Vitosha mountain, consider experts from the Nature for People and Regions Association. All these accidents happened due to the lack of elementary safety rails in dangerous places. According to the organization, the park administration could spend a small amount out of the almost BGN 4 mln, which have been absorbed since 2009 under various programs, in order to prevent other accidents. Thus, the Nature for People and Regions Association commented on the message of the Park Department for placement of warning signs.

The association specified the specific areas on the Vitosha mountain, where the placement of safety railings was most needed. These are the paths and the site around the Boyana waterfall. Guard rails must be put on the rock located on the footway over the Boyana lake to the waterfall. The path from the Kominite rocks to the Kikisha area has to be protected as well. The path under the lift of Dragalevtsi from the Bay Krusty area to the lift sub station should also be secured and marked.

The path from the village of Dragalevtsi to the Aleko chalet is eroded and slippery in many places, and accidents often occur there. “The bridges on the way from the Aleko chalet to the village of Bistrica are decayed, and so are the wooden grills around the Morenite area,” pointed out experts from the association.

The currently demonstrated activities are only a simple attempt of Thoma Belev, Director of Vitosha Park, to avoid his dismissal because of the poor state of the park.
