The Seven Rila Lakes Hiking Trail (Circular Route)

This is the primary attraction, a circular hiking trail connecting all seven glacial lakes, each with its own descriptive name (The Tear, The Eye, The Kidney, The Twin, The Trefoil, The Fish, The Lower Lake). The full loop covers approximately 8-10 km with an elevation gain of around 400-500 meters, taking 4-6 hours to complete, depending on pace and stops. The trail ranges from easy to moderately difficult, with some steep, rocky sections. It offers unparalleled views of the unique glacial landscape and the vibrant blue-green waters of the lakes. Specific points of interest include the 'Kidney Lake' viewpoint and the 'Eye Lake'.
