NO LIMIT - SPA FOR YOUR MIND 

DESCRIPTION:

 

Rila is a mountain range in southwest Bulgaria and the highest mountain range of Bulgaria and the Balkan peninsula, with its highest peak being Musala at 2,925 m. The massif is also the sixth highest mountain in Europe. The larger part of the mountain is occupied by the Rila National Park.

The name Rila is believed to be of Thracian origin and is thought to mean "well-watered mountain", owing to Rila's abundance of glacial lakes (about 200) and hot springs in fault areas at the base of the mountain. Some of the Balkans' longest and deepest rivers originate from Rila, including the Maritsa, the Iskar and the Mesta.

We recommend that you visit one of the most beautiful regions in Bulgaria – the Rila Lakes. Besides the beautiful landscapes you will feel the tranquil vibe of this unique place. When you feel burned out, that’s the place to go! The lakes are visited each year for the paneurhythmyc event by people from all over the world.  
Paneurithmia is a system of musical and physical exercises performed in the morning in the open, similar to Thai Chi. Dancers flock from different ends of the world attracted by the magical vibe present only there.

The clean air and water will revive your senses, usually only a couple of hours of sleep there are enough for a good rest compared to six to eight in the city.

SCHEDULE:

 

We prefer to discuss with our guests what they would like to see and experience thus we can tailor to their wants and needs accordingly. It is YOU who decides how far and how fast we go. We have all the necessary equipment to satisfy the most ambitious desires.

Since there are many options on trails and different routes we will inform you what's on during the current season and what activities are recommended. We will drive to the park and then we can either take the lift or walk to the Lakes Lodge. From there we can explore and hike to many attractions nearby. There are many places worth seeing besides the Seven Lakes. 

We can eighter stay at the lodge or camp under the starry sky.

Camping equipment will be provided and is included in the price.

 

On our way back to Sofia we can visit the hot spring pools and baths in Separeva Banya to rejuvinate our body and soul. Price of pool is around 4,00 euro. Accommodation in lodges costs between 6,00 and 10,00 euro per person per night. Food expense varies individually but 10,00 euro per day should be enough to feed big eaters. Delicious and fresh game meat can be eaten at a nearby lodge.There is a chair lift next to the parking lot that can take us to the 7 Rila Lakes Lodge, if you prefer this option instead of hiking. On some occasions the lift is closed due to maintanance. Lift pass 5,00 euro.
