Discover Bulgaria
Mountains
Bulgaria's true magic. 111,000 km² of varied terrain, landscapes and climates - with 39 mountain ranges covering roughly a third of the country.
The Story
What to know.
Away from the coast, Bulgaria rises into dramatic mountain country. The Balkan range (Stara Planina) runs the length of the country, while the Rila and Pirin ranges in the southwest hold some of the highest peaks in the Balkans, including Musala at 2,925 metres.
Hiking trails wind past glacial lakes, alpine meadows and centuries-old monasteries tucked into the hillsides. In winter the same ranges turn into ski country, with resorts just a few hours from the coast.
Even a single day inland - a hike, a mountain lake, a monastery visit - is enough to see a completely different side of Bulgaria from the one you find on the beach.
