The day begins early in the morning in Sofia. The transfer to Rila Mountains passes through Pancharevo dam and Iskar River (the longest river in Bulgaria). Our final aim will be the complex Malyovitsa where we will leave the car and start the real hike in the highest mountain of Bulgaria – Rila. The region of Malyovitsa is famous with its alpine look, abrupt rocks and Malyovitsa Peak (1700m) – the Bulgarian Matterhorn. From there we have three options for hikes:
