Embark on an unforgettable adventure between two of Rila's most popular huts – Rilski Ezera Hut and Sedemte Ezera (Seven Rila Lakes) Hut. This hiking route is a perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the heart of the mountain, while enjoying breathtaking landscapes in the Kyustendil region. The starting point is Rilski Ezera Hut, conveniently accessible by chairlift from Pionerska Hut. From here, a well-marked and relatively easy trail leads you upwards, gradually revealing increasingly impressive views. This section is ideal for families and tourists of varying fitness levels, taking approximately 1 to 1.5 hours. As you walk, you will be enveloped by the majestic beauty of Rila. Panoramas will open up before you, showcasing Dolnoto Ezero (The Lower Lake) and Ribnoto Ezero (The Fish Lake) – the first pearls of the Seven Rila Lakes. In spring and summer, the meadows are dotted with colorful alpine flowers, and the fresh mountain air fills your lungs with energy. The path has a gentle incline, making it pleasant and not overly strenuous. It offers ideal opportunities for photos and breaks, allowing you to soak in every minute of this natural idyll. Sedemte Ezera Hut, your final destination, is a cozy sanctuary nestled amidst this natural magic, and serves as an excellent base for further treks to higher lakes such as Babreka (The Kidney), Okoto (The Eye), and Salzata (The Tear). This trek is not merely a journey from point A to point B, but an experience that recharges the senses and soul, leaving you with lasting memories of Rila's grandeur.
