Tips
Nice place to visit, but I think it is better for car (or bike) tourism rather than hiking.
You may want to try "mekitsa" dessert from the shop next to the parking. It is deserved prize if you have started your tour from Seven Rila lakes for example. :)September 22, 2017
Culturally very attractive. Does the bakery still exist in the monastery? Tasted great, especially when coming from Musala after the long hike.

You must have seen the Rila Monastery. Equipment, architecture and landscape are unique!
Back then we were also thrilled by the home-made bread. That tasted wonderful - especially after the long hike over the Rila Mountains.translated by•May 7, 2020
