From the monument near Okolchitsa peak, follow the road to Vratsa. After about 40 minutes, turn to the left and through a vast paddy field, past the cowshed, the path descends to the town of Pogledets, where a gazebo has been built. The descent continues through the town of Krivulio and past the "Pogledets" shelter, crossing the serpentines of the road and turning to the right at a characteristic sharp bend in the road (Pankovata Kriva). It continues to the Promkata area, from where there is a steep descent to the Rashov dol area. Along a wide alley, you get on the road from the village of Lyutibrod to Vratsa, cross the railway line and go down to the village of Lyutibrod along the famous rock formation Ritlite.
There are two variations on this route.
Option 1
Pankovata Kriva area - Krasta area - 60 minutes
It starts from the area of Pankovata kriva (at the "Petko and Gergo" children's recreation area, located at the exit from the village of Chelopek towards Okolchitsa peak) and reaches a wooden cross, which is located above the Cherepish station. From the place there are magnificent views of the Cherepish Monastery, the village of Lyutibrod and the Natural Landmark "Ritlite". The route is well marked, relatively easy and with a small gradient. There is a recreation area with tables and benches. It takes one hour to walk. The return is the same way.
Option 2
