Babreka (The Kidney) Lake

Highlight • Lake

Shortly after the kidney it goes uphill again (50 min up and 30 min down). At the top you have a beautiful view of two other lakes. It's quite drafty up there, so it's better to bring warmer clothes.

The Third Lake (Rila Lakes)

Highlight • Lake

All of the seven lakes are beautiful and unique in their own way, but this one might be my personal favourite! Very nice aesthetic with the flowers growing out of the perfectly still water.
