The Rila Traverse
€260.00 – €2,150.00
A five-day hiking tour from one hut to another – except for the first night after climbing Musala, when we will stay overnight at the very foot of Rila Lakes. Visit the main highlights of Rila National Park: the highest peak of Rila – Mount Musala, Rila Monastery (a UNESCO site), the beautiful Seven Rila Lakes and Malyovitsa peak and valley. The route is well balanced between popular and less traveled tracks which allows one to see the famous sights and still enjoy the tranquility of the vast Rila mountain range, crossing the ridges on foot from north to south.
Individual travelers and bigger groups, please contact us for booking and options.
