リラ山脈のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

This is a great drone or zoom-lens spot—clear skies give you deep visibility across Bulgaria.

Beautiful lake where a small water crowfoot (Ranunculus) floats. Impressive views

Start of the trail to Malyovitsa hut. In some places you can also find it as the Malyovitsa eco-trail. The route is not difficult, but it is very picturesque. The hut is located about 3km from the start of the trail and the Malyovitsa and Alpinist hotels. There is also a large paid parking lot there. A large part of the trail goes through a forest and there is a lot of shade. There is a fountain in the middle of the route, so you can safely pour yourself some water.

Unfortunately, the tap had run dry.

The trail mark (white yellow white) is on the left but the trail actually continues on the right! There was an attempt to spray a red arrow but it's quite faded. PS you can go forwards you just won't get much further and you will be scratched by many a tree (as I am now!)

Hotel with a large spa and restaurant. It's a shame that the staff wasn't very charming and that they ran out of coffee cups in the morning, leaving you to drink the thin drink from paper cups. Perhaps it's due to its past as a mountain hut 🤔

The water surface area is 168.6 acres. The water volume of the lake is 590 thousand m3 and the maximum depth is 27.5 metres. In the recent past the lake was called Chifte Göl.
