Malak Kademliya (2,226 m) is the middle of the three peaks that give the Triglav massif its name: a section of the Kalofer mountain in the Central Balkan, south of the main ridge. Until 1942 the whole massif was called Kademliya.
About 1.1 km to the west is Golyam Kademliya (2,275 m), the highest point of the massif, and about 900 m southeast is Pirgos (2,195 m). After Pirgos the ridge turns southeast over Zli vrah and Tanastepe. The massif lies between the Tazha and Gabrovnitsa rivers, left tributaries of the Tundzha.
The Triglav crest is broad and rocky, with steep, hard-to-reach slopes; the valleys are deep, with steps and waterfalls. Hut Triglav (1,370 m) is about 3.5 km to the southwest.
