Additional Information

Embark on a spellbinding journey through Bulgaria’s largest National Park, home to the renowned Seven Rila Lakes district. This captivating region is one of Bulgaria’s top attractions. As we trek through the area, we’ll be greeted by stunning landscapes and breathtaking lakes appearing successively. We aim to conquer the Lakes peak, where on a clear day, a panoramic view of all 7 glacial lakes is revealed - offering an awe-inspiring 360-degree vista. Pacing back, an optional lunch stop at a mountain hut is feasible, or simply take a moment to refresh with a drink before taking the lift down. Subsequently, we’ll visit Sapareva Banya, Bulgaria’s standout SPA resort. With the honor of being the country’s warmest geothermal resort and pride of housing the only geyser, it’s the perfect spot to unwind in the warm mineral springs after an exhilarating hiking day. The winter season requires special equipment (snowshoes and hiking poles), which we can provide if required (not included in the price). This enthralling tour is a favorite among many voyagers and usually comes highly recommended.

Rila winter snow walk magical - Great way to start the year . Dobrins terrain expertise made the snow hike a piece of cake. The views of the mountains and frozen lakes were spectacular, the equipment provided was good. Can’t wait to go back and give it another try :-) Highly recommend this trip with Dobrin

Spectacular! Not to be missed! - We loved the snow trekking to one of the most beautiful places in the Balkans. This route is absolutely outstanding and our guide Dobrin was superb. He went out of his way to keep us all feeling good, safe and showed us spectacular sites. A dream trip we will never forget.

Sofia to Rila lakes and Rila monastery - I and my friends who were visiting from Amsterdam decided to book one day trip to Rila Lakes and Rila Monastery with Dobrin. He picked us up from our Airbnb in Sofia early in the morning and within 1.5hr we reached Rila Lakes. Dobrin is an excellent driver, very careful, and also took all our needs into consideration. He is also very knowledgable and provided us with a lot of nice and interesting facts about the lakes and the monastery. He did the entire tour in English which was also very much appreciated. If you are looking for someone who is nice, friendly, understanding, knowledgeable, with a good command of English and a great driver, Dobrin is the right person for you. I strongly recommend him.
