I’ve heard that the Rila Lakes is the most popular hike in Bulgaria and it’s no wonder, the scenery along this hike is absolutely awe-inspiring.

You start by taking a chairlift (25 leva) up into the high alpine and from there you can see most of the lakes in a day or stay over at the hut and make it a slower 2 day hike.

What I enjoyed most about this hike is the beautiful reflections on the sky and clouds on the crystal-clear blue lakes.
