Introducing Rila & Pirin Mountains
The two Alp-like mountain chains (also national parks) between Sofia and the Greek border are made of serious rocky-topped peaks brimming with rewarding and strenuous hiking paths, clear streams rushing past monasteries and some appealing towns. It’s here that one of Bulgaria’s most famous sites, Rila Monastery, stands guarded by mountains. Other access points include Samokov, Bansko and Melnik.
