Bulgaria
Rila is a landscape of high peaks, glacial lakes and extensive coniferous forests. Musala, the Balkan Peninsula’s highest summit, rises here. The national park protects varied mountain habitats. The region can be explored through scenic journeys or walking routes selected to suit the season and the group’s experience.
Glacial lakes are scattered across Rila’s high mountain terrain, predominantly on northern exposures. Groups such as the Musala and Maritsa lakes connect former glaciation, mountain relief and today’s water basins.
