The guide will collect guests early in the morning from their hotel in Sofia for an exciting adventure in the Rila Mountains. The journey will take approximately an hour and a half to reach the Pionerska mountain hut, where a chairlift will transport visitors to the Rila Lakes hut, located at an elevation of 2150 meters above sea level. The hike will commence from the hut towards the Kidney, the third of the Seven Rila Lakes. Along the way, participants will enjoy stunning alpine views of rugged peaks and frozen mountain lakes. After a brief pause and a warm cup of tea at the lake, the group will return to the Rila Lakes hut. The descent will be via the chairlift back to the van, followed by a short 20-minute transfer to the Sapareva Banya spa resort, where guests can unwind in the thermal pools filled with hot spring water.
