9 days – mountain chalet and hotels
Rila Mountains are the highest ones not only on The Balkan Peninsula but also in South East Europe. The highest peak is Musala (2925 m a.s.l.). Many of the tops here are close to 3000 m a.s.l. Rila (an old Slavic word, meaning "Water Mountain") looks like a rough sea of mountain ridges and peaks, deep gorges and 150 crystal clear lakes. Thanks to the mild winds from the Mediterranean Sea, the mountains have entirely unique vegetation. A big part of the National Park is under the protection of UNESCO.
The animal world of Rila constitutes deer, red deer, wild goats and boars, bears, squirrels, eagles, falcons, hawks, wood-grouses, etc. In rivers and lakes trout breeds. A large part of the mountain is included in Rila National Reserve. The biosphere reserves Central Rila Reserve and Parangalitsa (spruce, firtree, and juniper) are here.
