Rila Mountains

Reviewed By didih123 - Strasbourg, France

Bulgaria is without a doubt one of my favorite places to visit and shoot photos in . The wide open places ,natural lakes ,beautiful mountains and endless landscapes keep me coming back over and over again ...Musala (Bulgarian: Мусала; from Arabic through Ottoman Turkish: Musalla, "near God" or "place for prayer" is the highest peak in the entire Balkan Peninsula, standing at 2,925 m (9,596 ft). The summit of the Rila mountain range in southwestern Bulgaria, Musala is the highest peak between the Alps and the Caucasus and the highest in Eastern Europe bar the Caucasus. With a prominence of 2473 m, Musala is the 7th most prominent mountain peak in Europe (Wikipedia)

Seven Rila Lakes

Reviewed By 225evgenim - Sofia, Bulgaria

Magnificent nature! The seven Rila lakes are recognized as the most energetic place in the world. Great views from a height of 2500 m. The route is extreme. You need good equipment. The sun is strong and you need sunscreen. Many people visit the Rila lakes in the summer.

Vitosha Mountain

Reviewed By Sharpehunter - Island of Malta, Malta

When you arrive in Sofia your attention is immediately drawn to the Mount Vitosha range which stands tall in the backdrop. Beautiful snow-capped mountains fringed by lush green mixed woodland and forest draws you in immediately. Easily accessible by car, buses and trams, you can even jump the various chairlifts to get higher up the range. My favourite starting point for any hike in Vitosha is Boyana Church. From here there is a myriad of routes to choose of varying difficulty all clearly marked. Take your pick from The Golden Bridges, Boyana Lake and Boyana Waterfall, or just choose a path that looks good, hit the trail and go with the flow. Advisable to wear good walking shoes, the terrain is very diverse and changeable and varies from easy-going paths to steep rocky (and slippy) climbs. Always take plenty of water, make sure you have some food. There are lots of mountain huts that serve great traditional Bulgarian food, beers, wines and soft drinks, but you have to get to them first. Fabulous days out, I still haven't done the actual Black Peak yet, but it's on the agenda.

Borovets Ski Resort

Reviewed By davidbP9097CZ - Newport, United Kingdom

Just spent the week in Borovets, we were blessed with the weather, it snowed heavily overnight on several occasions and we had a mix of sunny blue skies and moody clouds during the day, all of which was a great backdrop for skiing. Facilities seem to have been upgraded since last time we came three years ago, new six person chairlift, new hotel complexes and extended Alpin ski school. Being a relative novice at skiing I can’t comment on the comparative benefits of Borovets over any other resort but I found all the slopes great fun and as challenging as you want to make them with the option of green through to black and the ability to mix and match on the way down. At least three snow ploughs were out every night making the slopes pristine for the following day and snow cannons are also strategically placed in case a top up is needed. Great value for money resort, we would recommend.

Came across Matt and the ski school after some not so positive experiences with another ski school in Borovets for my 6 year old son. After one hour with Veli he has found his love of skiing and had another lesson the next day with Nadia. Small classes (I spied 7 in a group at half term, perfect) which is what parents want. Give them that they will return. We will be back!
