We spent a good part of the first day of our trek travelling by bus from София to Кърджали and then from Кърджали to the village of Дъждовница we took a taxi. After a couple of hours walk we got to a key point where we had to cross Кърджали water reservoir by boat. Luckily the guy at Боровица rest-house agreed to take us to the other side of the dam, where we reached our first planned destination - the remains of Патмос fortress. This dew soaked web shot was taken on the following morning close to our bivouac at the fortress. The fortress itself is hardly worth a mention - only the foundations have survived the elements.
