One of the youngest Bulgarian national parks, covering nearly half
of the Rila mountain range, Rila's national park is situated in the
Southwest of Bulgaria and is renowned for the Seven Rila lakes, a hiker's
paradise. The scenery is breathtaking and here the visitor can find
peace with the sound of the water flowing over the rocks in the many
streams and rivers. Bear, wild boar, red deer and several species of
eagle, just a few of the animals living together here, enhance the romanticism
of this region, while the fauna is a delight both for the amateur and
professional.
