Malyovitsa, Elenino lake and Strashnoto lake - a weekend in the most mesmerising part of Rila!

Day 1

The adventure starts at the Vassil Levski National Stadium at 7:00 a.m. We are to embark on an adventure in majestic Rila and its most beautiful part - Malyovitsa, full of emerald lakes and eerie peaks! Our ride is southbound to Samokov and the Malyovitsa ski complex, where we start our hike. We have an uphill start and then continue along the valley of the Preka River. Afterwards we go up to the marvellous Yonchevo lake, where we have a picnic and get ready for the steepest section for the day taking us to the most mesmerising lake in the area - Strashnoto lake (the Fearsome Lake). In the afternoon we go through the glacial valley of Prekorechki Lakes to the Malyovitsa lodge. In the evening we finish the great day over beer and in good mood! :)

Elevation gain/loss - up 800m; down 500m. Total hike - 6-7 h

Day 2

We get up and have breakfast, getting ready for a day to remember! Slowly we ascend the so-called Malyovitsa terraces with rocky peaks towering above us - Orlovets, Zliya Zab, Malyovitsa. The views are worth the exertion. In two hours we are already at the Elenino lake - Malyovitsa's jewel. We continue along a winding trail to stop on top of Malyovitsa - a fabled peak! Our dream has come true. We marvel at the views of Rila and the ruthless shapes of Pirin nearby! We have lunch atop. On the way back we are full of gratification, energised and dreaming of our future plans.

Elevation gain/loss - up 800m; down 1000m. Total hike - 6-7 h
