Slavov peak (2,306 m) is in Eastern Rila, on the watershed ridge between the Maritsa and Mesta rivers, east of the Krivorechka saddle. It was called Dzhaferitsa until 1942 and Slav until 1945. The Belmeken reservoir lies to its northwest.
The peak is rocky, built of South Bulgarian granite, with steep slopes: pasture higher up, conifer forest lower down. The Chairska river, a headwater of the Sestrimska river, rises on its southeast slope.
