[email protected] Weather http://www.rilskiezera.bg/?act=content&rec=56 ​ ​ ​ How to get to the hut from Panichishte? Traditionally, tourists climb up to Rila Lakes on foot from Panichishte and there are three main routes - directly from Pionerska hut or Skakavitsa and Hovna huts.

The most traditional and most direct ascent to the cabin in the summer is the red marker, which starts to the right of a hundred meters after the junction over Pionerska hut to the lift. Through the it climbs up to the Dolno obatarishte locality, then on the brandy, the Kummurzija Trail separates again from the black path and through a picturesque path through the forest goes out to the open parts of the National Park near the hut. Along the entire route follow the red markings and the signs for Rila Lakes Chalet. This route takes about one and a half hours to experienced tourists, and to the more inexperienced - about two hours. In winter, climbing to the hut takes about two hours and a half to three hours, as deep snow does not pass through the direct paths through the forest, followed by a footprint of snowmobiles along the broad road.

Another hill-loved hiking route to the Rila Lakes Chalet is through the hunting lodge . Pionerska hut continues along the asphalt road by the lower station of the chair lift, followed by the signs for the hunting lodge. From the

6 meadow, the trail climbs steeply through the forest and goes to the Gorno landing place on the main dirt road to the hut where it reaches up. For this route, you have to provide for about two hours.

Perhaps the most picturesque hiking route to the Rila Lakes Chalet is through the of Skakavitsa hut . For ​ ​ about a kilometer before the Pionerska chalet, it takes a narrow asphalt detour to the right. It is possible to reach the green Preslav area by car. From then on, following the mark, first through a dirt road through the woods, then on a path to the right through the forest you reach the Skakavitsa hut for about an hour. From there, crossing the river and then the red mark upwards goes over the forest belt and for an hour or more it reaches the hut Rila Lakes.

At Rila mon, take a bus around 9am to Dupnitsa (1hr), from there a bus to Sapareva Banya (actually better to get ​ ​ ​ off just before Sapareva Banya itself), then a bus to Panichishte & 5km further to the bottom of the chair lift. ​ ​ 100m from the top of the chair lift there was a ski chalet. We stayed in the chalet dorm for 11 Lev each. Better call a taxi Sapareva Banya - Panichishte. If no chair lift, walk down 60 min. http://banskoblog.com/2009/07/seven-rila-lakes/

No lift Day 1: Sofia – Zeleni Preslop – Skakavitsa Hut – Skakvitsa Waterfall – The Seven Rila Lakes – Ivan ​ ​ ​ ​ Vazov Hut +359 48 81 55 98 – 9 hours, +1200 m/-500 m: ​ Early start from Sofia. We may also suggest places to stay in the beautiful village of Sapareva Banya (30 min ​ ​ away from the starting point), famous with its thermal springs, and pick you up from there in the morning. The ​ ​ starting point of the trek is located 1,5 hours drive from the capital and is also accessible by public transport. One hour hike to Skakavitsa Hut, where we’ll make a detour to see the Skakavitsa Waterfall, the one with the biggest ​ ​ ​ ​ water drop in Rila Mountains.

Further we hike along the Dry that offers great panoramas towards the lower of the Seven Lakes. Finally we ​ ​ get to the Kidney Lake, the Eye and the Teardrop Lakes. The last section of the ascent takes us up to a high ridge at 2600 m at Razdela Pass. Most visitors do not reach this point where all the lakes are below us. From here we ​ ​ descend in west direction for another hour to Ivan Vazov Hut, located at 2300 m. Accommodation in the hut – ​ ​ dormitories, common WC, no shower. Sheets and food are provided in the hut.

Day 2: Ivan Vazov Hut – – Sofia – 6 hours, +200/-1350 m: ​ The day starts with a gentle ascent along the valley, called Pazardere Valley. For about 1,5 hours we reach the ​ ​ Baucher Ridge and start a long panoramic descent towards the monastery. For about 4,5 hours we’ll drop down ​ 1350 metres to the bottom of the valley. We’ll visit the monastery on foot as its been visited centuries ago, before the development of the infrastructure… From the monastery there is buses to the town of Blagoevgrad and Sofia.

➤ To Musala Peak : From Samokov Самоков you need to take another bus going to (every 30 min). ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Then take the Gondola lift to Yastrebets. Then follow the marking and in 2-3 hours you will be at the peak. ​ ​ ​ ​ 7.5km one way, first 3.5 is flat, last 4km ascend 500m (like 鉛礦au-大帽山) http://bulgariatravelhacker.com/a/rila-mountain/

Samokov → Dupnitsa last bus 1700 ? 好少車！

Borovet-Musala 3 huts enroute: ​ a) Hiza Musala (food, drinks, overnight stay) b) Ledenoto Ezero (no food, soft drinks and beer, overrnight stay) c) Musala hut located right on the peak. No food, one can buy water in plastic bottles from the meteostation employee on duty.

------How to get there (to Borovets / Боровец) ​ ​ By train: In order to hike Mt. Musala you have to start at Borovets and continue walking. The closest train station is in Dupnitsa. Then you have to take a bus from Dupnitsa to Borovets (or Dupnitsa – Samokov, then Samokov – ​ ​ Borovets).

By bus: Take the bus to Samokov from Bus station “South” in Sofia. Samokov is 10-12 km away from Borovets and there are shuttles every 30 min.

From Borovets, so the cabin lift to Yastrebets can comfortably take you to 2,369 m. You can get to the top in only ​ ​ three hours, passing by Musala Hut and the Icy Lake Shelter. ​ ​ ​ ​

You can start the climb of Mount Musala (2925m) from Borovets to Yastrebets hut (with cabin lift, 25 min), then ​ ​ hike from Yastrebets to Musala hut (an hour and a half). From Musala hut the hike continues to “Ledeno ezero” shelter (an hour and a half). From there you have left 30 min of hike to the Mount Musala itself. Аs you climb you will enjoy stunning views and the amazing Musala Lakes. The total hike will be around 3-4 hours one way. Don’t forget to plan your way down.

------Musala is the highest peak in Bulgaria standing at 2,925 m (9,596 ft). Despites this it's not hard to climb and a lot of unexperienced tourists go there especially in Summer. There is a lift which will save you a lot of climbing if you wish.

How to get there? It's not too far from Sofia. The easiest way is first to go to Borovets - a popular ski resort with a lot of hotels and attractions (so you can sleep there if you want). The route to Borovets goes through Samokov so if you want to take a bus get a ticket to Samokov. Note that these buses start from the South Bus Station ("Sofia - ​ Yug") and not the central station in Sofia. There is a bus each 30 or 60 minutes. The trip is about 1 hour long. ​

------

8 from Sofia. We took a mini-bus to Samokov and another one to Borovets resort 1350 m a.s.l. Borovets is situated 70 km from Sofia, it is about 2 hours driving.

Obviously at this time of the year Borovets is pretty calm and not crowded. That's why the Gondola lift is not operating and we had to start walking on the marked path directly from Borovets to Yastrebets hut /2369 m/ – about 2,5 hours walking. The easier option is to take the Gondola lift to Yastrebets hut or to use horses.

Unfortunately, on our way it was start raining and there was a dense fog. The Yastrebets hut was closed. We had to find a path to the next shelter - Musala hut /2430 m/. Wet and tired we reached it after an hour and stayed there for a night.

In the morning we started the real adventure in the mountain. We continued our way from Musala hut to Ledenoto Ezero shelter /2715 m/ - about 1,5 hours. We were going by the Musalenski lakes and the Icy lake, where the Ledenoto Ezero shelter is located. This is the highest lake in Rila mountain and most of the year it is covered with ice or snow. We took another break here enjoying the view to the 3 highest peaks in the Mountain – Moussala, Malka Moussala and Irechek and made the final effort to end climbing.

It took us less than an hour from the Icy lake to the top of the Rila mountain – Musala peak. The panoramic view from the very top is really breath-taking - one could spot lakes and valleys and many other peaks - the marble edges of Pirin Mountains, Vitosha and Mountains, the Rodopi Mountains and the Balkan .

We enjoyed the panoramas, took pictures and started descending. Happy and tired, full of emotions and spiritual energy promised that we’ll be back in the mountain soon. Around 20 h we were back in Sofia.
