Hiking
Routes we walked ourselves, through the Pirin, Rila and Rhodopes.
Silence, lakes and views
Hiking here means silence, clear mountain lakes and views far across the border. The Pirin has more than 170 lakes, the Rila has the highest peak in the Balkans and the Rhodopes are gentle and wooded. Along the way you pass mountain huts with soup and a warm welcome, and the European long-distance path E4 runs right through the Pirin. Below are the routes we walked ourselves.

Into the mountains, well prepared
From sunrise to thermal bath
Setting off early
Start while it is still cool and the paths are empty. The sun rises above the Rhodopes and colours the peaks of the Pirin.
At the mountain lakes
Crystal-clear water reflecting the peaks. Sit for a moment, do nothing for a moment.
A break at the hut
Soup, bread and a view. You are always welcome in the mountain huts.
Chamois and eagles
If you are quiet, you will see them: chamois on the meadows and eagles high above the ridges.
Back in the valley
Tired but satisfied. A dip in the hot springs or a cold beer on a terrace in the village.
Into the mountains together
