Seven Rila lakes to Rila monastery quided trek. - Two days which we will remember forever. From Rila Lakes to Rila Monestery. The walk was challenging, over mountainous terrain, but we kept a steady pace and felt well prepared. Overnight accommodation was very basic but the big surprise was dinner and breakfast — both delicious. Thank you to Niki and Zahari for looking after us so well.
