 Pine trees (Borove) by hekate
The name of the resort derives from Bor, which means pine tree because it is surrounded with pine woods :)
What I do not like is that the hotels are not very good. On the other hand there are a lot of pubs and good food. Leave a Comment Address: Rila

 Siven by hekate
I heard it is very delicious but I did not have a chance to try it. I took the picture on the Seventh Rila lake where you can see a sign that fishing is forbiden. But if you put your hand in the water and you wait for a while the fish will try to eat you :) Leave a Comment Address: The Seventh LakeDirections: In the lake :)

 The first lake you see (the
seven Mussala lakes) by ChristinaNest, 4 more photos
Along the way you see the seven Mussala lakes (which are different form the Seven Rila lakes). I went there last August. We had very good weather almost all the way to the top and had the change to enjoy the views and take pictures. Then suddenly it got very foggy and at the top the fog was so thick that you couldn't see anything. Climbing down, we left the fog behind us so we could enjoy the view again. Leave a Comment

 Haramiata Peak by hekate
I have never been up on the peak but a friend of mine who was up there told me that the view is breath-taking. What you see is the Rila lakes spread below you. Leave a Comment

Skakavitsa waterfall is supposed to be the highest one on the Balkans. It is within a 30-minute walk from Skakavitsa hut. The path goes by the river and through flower fields so it's very nice. If you want to climb a big higher from the base of the waterfall, you need some more time. We climbed quite high, basically as high as one could get without special equipment (it could be dangerous though!) and we got our shoes a bit wet. We had just finished our water so we refilled the bottle with fresh waterfall water. It tasted great! And we saw a frog soaking in a little pool between the boulders.

The last part of the path to Skakavitsa hut goes by the river which is falling down in beautiful cascades and little waterfalls. The path is so steep that you get out of breath quite fast, so this is a great way to relax while enjoying the view. The cascades come up one after the other as you climb. Just watch your step.
