“Many people think that by buying equipment, they can conquer the mountain like in National Geographic. It’s like buying a rope and thinking that you can walk on it. This is how Apriltsi’s mayor, the engineer Tihomir Kukenski, commented on the series of incidents that occurred in the Balkans on January 2, in which 7 tourists were injured and a climber died, on BTV’s “Tazi Sutrin”.
Ing. Kukenski was at Pleven’s cabin and witnessed the incidents and the rescue operation.
“Around 2: 30-3: 00 (afternoon) we noticed that there was a commotion in the cabin. The cabin is spread out with binoculars, binoculars. It turned out that a climber descending from the top noticed a girl waving her hand and distressed , asking him to come to the rescue. Rushing to the aid of the first group, he noticed that the second group disappeared from the route they were descending and called the cabin to look for them with binoculars where they stopped, “said Kukensky.
“I don’t understand how we should urge people not to do this to themselves. (…) And yesterday the people from Botev Peak and Pleven’s hut warned them that the equipment they left with was not the right fit for the conditions, however, allowed it. The mountain was beautiful yesterday, but looking at it from the window, not walking on the concrete ice with cats, “said the mayor of Apriltsi.
“My appeal is not to turn Apriltsi from a natural north gate of Central Balkan Park into a gate to hell,” said Kukenski.
