Seven Rila lakes - guided day hiking with Waterfall and SPA

Embark on an unforgettable guided day hike through Bulgaria’s Rila National Park, exploring the breathtaking Seven Rila Lakes. Your adventure begins with a scenic transfer from Sofia to Panichishte, where a cable car whisks you up to the starting point at 1,800 meters above sea level.

Trek along well-marked trails as you ascend to the highest lake, the Tear, at 2,535 meters. Along the way, marvel at panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and the stunning glacial lakes, each named for their distinctive shapes. The route offers moderate hiking suitable for those with a reasonable level of fitness.

After your hike, unwind at the Kotva complex, the largest SPA center in the area, boasting indoor and outdoor thermal pools with mineral-rich waters. Relax your muscles in the warmest mineral spring and take in sweeping mountain vistas. Don’t forget to bring your swimsuit, towel, and flip-flops for a complete SPA experience.

The journey continues with a visit to Bulgaria’s only natural geyser, followed by a short walk to the impressive Goritsa Waterfall, the tallest in the region. Throughout the day, enjoy the convenience of bottled water, coffee or tea, and the expertise of your English-speaking guide.

Return to Sofia in the evening, refreshed and inspired by the natural beauty you’ve experienced. Spaces are limited, so secure your spot now and immerse yourself in the wonders of Rila National Park!
