Immerse yourself in the heart of the Pirin Mountains with one of its most impressive treks – the trail connecting the captivating Popovo Lake with the mystical Tevno Lake. Located in the Blagoevgrad region, this classic route offers an unforgettable experience amidst breathtaking alpine landscapes. The hike typically starts from Bezbog Hut or Demyanitsa Hut, with the first major stop being the majestic Popovo Lake – the largest and deepest glacial lake in Pirin.

The culmination of the route is reaching Tevno Lake, nestled high in the mountains at over 2500 meters above sea level. Here, amidst the rugged mountain relief, stands the highest-situated hut in Bulgaria – Tevno Ezero Hut, offering shelter and warm food. The surrounding beauty is wild and untouched, and the silence is broken only by the sounds of nature. This trek is of moderate to high difficulty, requiring good physical preparation and appropriate gear. The best time to visit is from July to September when the weather is stable.
