The peak can be reached from the Kom Hut, located 15 km from Berkovitsa on the northern slope of Malak Kom Peak. From the hut to the summit, the hike takes about 2 hours along a trail marked with posts, which passes through the saddle between Malak Kom and Sreden Kom and heads west along the gently sloping Kom Ridge toward Kom.
From Berkovitsa to the starting point—Kom Hut—you can reach it via a 15-kilometer paved road, which takes about 3 hours and 30 minutes on foot along a marked trail. Kom Peak marks the start of the “Kom–Emine” route—the Bulgarian section of the European hiking route E-3.
The impressive view from the peak inspired the writer Ivan Vazov to write the poem “On Kom.” In his honor, a stone slab featuring a bas-relief of the writer and verses from “On Kom” has been placed near the summit.
