⛰️ North-western Rila is a section with a great deal to offer hikers - from crags for climbing to any number of high mountain routes, lakes and rivers. Today we set off on a one-day walk to Lopushitsa peak and the Lopushki lakes. Seen from the Govedartsi basin, the peak is striking for its sheer size.
