Hiking to Musala Peak 2925 m – the highest on The Balkan Peninsula

The Rila Mountains are the highest on The Balkan Peninsula with Mount Musala – 2925 m.

A big part of the National Park is under the protection of UNESCO. The view from the top is absolutely breath-taking – views of Rila, Pirin, Vitosha, Sredna Gora and Rhodope Mountains and the Balkan Range.
