Winter Tale in Pirin - Sunsets from Spano Pole
Pirin is one of the highest mountains in Bulgaria. It is one of the three national parks in the country, the others being Rila National Park and Central Balkan National Park. The park was established in 1962 and its territory was expanded several times since then. Pirin National Park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983.
