The seven lakes of Rila are the most well-known and visited lakes of this imposing mountain. All are located at 2,100 to 2,500 meters above sea level.
An interesting fact is that they were named after their unusual shape. Each lake has a name that corresponds to its most characteristic feature: Trilistnika (“The Trefoil”), Bliznaka (“The Twin”), Babreka (“The Kidney”), Oko, Salzata (“The Tear”), Ribnoto Ezero (“The Fish Lake”) and Dolnoto Ezero (“The Lower Lake”).
This is only a fraction of what Rila has to offer.
We encourage you to explore the rest for yourself!
