Rila Mountains & The Seven Rila Lakes
Spend the day in the Rila, hiking around its pearl: the Seven Rila Lakes. A transfer from Sofia takes us to the Panichishte Resort cable car which takes us to the Seven Rila Lakes Cirque. We have enough time to reach the highest lake, Salzata (The Tear) at 2500m/8200ft above sea level, from where we have a bird’s eye view over all seven lakes in their Cirque, as well as surrounding outcrops and deep valleys. This walking route is moderately arduous, with individual brief paths featuring steep inclines.
Transfer time: 3-3,30hrs
Walking time: 4-5 hrs (moderate difficulty)
Best period: mid June-mid September
