I have reported here once last year about the highest Bulgarian mountain Rila
(with Musala being 2925,4 m high). The place is magical, once you have been
there you always long to go back...I was going up every summer with my
grand parents when I was little. It was standard nature escape... So this year I did it again with my parents! We took
another hike trail and had a fantastic weather and amazing encounters.
Enjoy the breathtaking views of lakes and colourful inhabitants! I hope
you can feel how special, quiet and cozy this place is from my
photo-tour...
Next to enjoying the magnificent views, refreshing out feet in the lake water and sweating while climbing up we did not forget the most important activity! We have picked some fresh Rila thyme (picture below), which is used in almost every Bulgarian family as aromatic tea or best home caugh-remedy in the cold season! I love to collect this plant as my fingers are parfumed for some time afterwards with the thyme oil:-))
