Additional Information
South-western Bulgaria is dominated by two dramatic mountain ranges, the
Pirin and the equally imposing Rila. We begin in the Pirin Mountains,
trekking across glacial moraines and high passes and attempting an ascent of
Mt Vihren (2914m). Moving on to the Rila Mountains, we visit the Rila
Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Then cross the mountain range,
through ancient forests to the glacial lakes for which these mountains are
famed. We conclude by summiting Musala (2925m), the highest peak in
south-eastern Europe, before returning to Sofia.
