Today we will go over the pass to another part of the route. We will pack our things into a minibus that will take backpacks and suitcases to the next hotel. And we will make the transition to the old town with small backpacks. The distance is short - only 10 km, but there is a solid height difference - 1100 meters. We spend the night in a hotel and settle down for the last evening in the mountains.
