Seven Rila Lakes
Traveling around the country, I discovered a real natural wonder of Bulgaria - 7 Rila Lakes. Definitely, this is one of the most important natural attractions of the country. And if you are looking for what is so amazing to see in Bulgaria - take the Rila Lakes to your wishlist. But remember .... the most picturesque views of the glacial Rila Lakes open on the topmost observation deck =)
....so stock up on patience, some water and go!
From the benefits:
We parked the car in a paid parking lot at the lower lift (chair lift) station, the cost was 5 lev (October 2022) - 42.24307729454168, 23.322704753578254
Please note that lift operation varies by season. Therefore, if you do not want to stomp back on foot, then check out the information stand before boarding =)
Family Hotel Relaxa
16 Yordan Popmihaylov Street, 2650 Sapareva Banya, Bulgaria
I can safely recommend the hotel where I stayed - small but comfortable, with its own spa and zest in the restaurant;)
