Muratov

Immerse yourself in the magic of Pirin by heading to Muratov Peak (2669 m), majestically rising in North Pirin, part of the Blagoevgrad municipality. Also known as Muratov Stone, this impressive peak is one of the hidden gems of the mountain, offering unforgettable experiences and breathtaking panoramas. Located above the picturesque Bunderishki Lakes and very close to Vihren Hut, Muratov Peak is an excellent spot for day hikes and is part of the routes to some of Pirin's highest summits. The ascent to the peak, while requiring good physical preparation, is incredibly rewarding. The trail offers constantly changing landscapes – from green alpine meadows to the rugged rocky scree typical of Pirin's higher elevations. From Muratov Peak, stunning views unfold in all directions: towards the mighty Vihren and its neighbors Kutelo and Golyam Kazan, towards the jagged ridge of Koncheto, to the blue eyes of Vlahinski and Bunderishki Lakes, as well as Todorka Peak and Sinanitsa. Muratov Peak is an ideal destination for mountain photography enthusiasts and for those seeking peace and solitude amidst nature. The peak is less crowded compared to the most popular summits, making it a perfect choice for those who wish to enjoy Pirin in its full, unspoiled beauty. Whether you are an experienced mountaineer or simply looking for a challenge with grandiose views, Muratov Peak will captivate you with its wild charm and power.
