Story:

START -> Borovetz -> Grunchar Hut -> Fish Lakes Hut -> Malyovitsa Hut ->

7 Rila Lakes -> Separeva Bania -> END


This is the best hiking trail to discover Rila Mauntain (The highest Bulgarian mountain).


My name is Vasko and together with my girlfriend Kary we made this wonderful trip in Rila Maountain the highest mountain in Bulgaria. We climbed the highest Bulgarian Peak as well "Musala Peak".


Most people do this route for about 6-7 days, but we did it in 4 days. You need some fitness training before this trip if you plan it for 4 days. Despite the trails are kind of short ~20km per day, it gets very hard at some places because of the treacherous terrain especially with my 20kg backpack and my girlfriend's 15kg backpack.

Tips:

Don't forget to buy poles! It saves a lot of energy.

Third day is the hardest one. Get a good sleep on the second day and get good rest after the easiest second day.
