Join this day tour and see essential sites in the Rila mountain range with transfers from Sofia. The first stop on this tour is the iconic Seven Rila Lakes. Hop on the cable car that will bring you up 2,140m where you will hike along the walking trail. Appreciate the crystal clear water of the lakes as you’re steeped in the mountain range’s spiritual atmosphere. You can either complete the whole trek or skip some of the lakes - it’s all up to you. Afterward, visit the Rila Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This Orthodox monastery was founded in the 10th-century by the hermit St. John of Rila. It played an important role in medieval Bulgaria’s spiritual and social life. At the end of the tour, return safely to your meet up location in Sofia.
