Via Ferrata Adventure on Kuklata peak (The Doll) 2257 m
Rila Mountains are the highest on The Balkan Peninsula with Mount Musala – 2925 m. Rila (an old Slavic word, meaning “Water Mountain”) looks like a rough sea of mountain ridges and peaks, deep gorges and 150 crystal clear lakes. A big part of the National Park is under the protection of UNESCO.
Tour on Via Ferata “Kuklata” passes on rock pillar located right on Kuklata peak (The Doll) 2257 m. The trail reaches panoramic ridge with wonderful views of the Maliovitsa valley and the neighboring Urdina valley and all peaks of Maljovitsa 2729 m.
Via Ferrata, ‘Iron Way’ in Italian, is a route with fixed protection that helps people move safely on routes that would normally be the domain of rock climbers. Protection on a via Ferrata includes a combination of thick steel cables, metal bars, steps, ladders and bridges. These are usually bolted and glued to the rock face allowing people to clip into the protection and be safe at all times.
