A 1-day guided mountain trek in Bulgaria’s Rila Mountain that takes you through breathtaking mountain landscapes to the world-famous Seven Rila Lakes.
You start the morning with a short ride on the chairlift to the area of the world-famous Seven Rila Lakes. If the lift is closed, You'll drive there by jeep. From the upper lift station, you’ll start down a moderately steep path to the nearest of the Seven Rila Lakes – the Kidney. After that are the Eye and the Tear. You’ll spend our entire trek surrounded by beautiful scenery on all sides. You’ll climb to the Razdela saddle and to the nearby Vazov/Damga peak (2670 m), where you’ll enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of Urdini Lakes and the deep valley in which they are situated. You’ll go around the valley via the mountain ridge southward and then eastward. You’ll go on a short descent to Zeleni Kamak (Green Rock), from where you’ll descend once again to the deep cirque of the Panitsite and along the upper-situated lake (from which springs the longest river in Bulgaria – Iskar). Down the slopes of this cirque, you’ll descend to the lower-situated lakes in the group of the Seven Rila Lakes. What follows is a descent through old pine forests towards the car that will transfer you to Sofia.
