In the southwest of Bulgaria lies the Rila Mountains. In this largest national park of Bulgaria you can make beautiful walks. The most beautiful of all these walks is the one to the 7 Rila lakes. This area used to be very difficult to reach but since 2009 a chairlift brings you to an altitude of over 2000 meters. From there there is a walk of over 10km along the lakes. The hike is certainly not easy considering some pretty long steep climbs but definitely worth it. Especially the furthest point from where you have a magnificent view of all 7 lakes is magnificent. If you have less time or don't feel like steep climbs you can also make a smaller and easier tour along the first 4 lakes. All in all you are busy all day but you will visit one of the most beautiful nature reserves of Bulgaria.
