Itinerary description
You have to use transport to the town of Dobrinishte. (5km from Bansko) and to Gotse Delchev hut (11km from Dobrinishte). From Gotse Delchev hut to Bezbog hut take the old, but safe, ski lift for 2 legs, it was 18 Lev at the time (be careful it is fast).
Once you arrive walk over the small wooden bridge and follow the green white and yellow painted markers. Eventually the green and yellow markers split, which takes you either side of the rock in front of the lake. Whatever you do follow either one around, I would recommend green. Once at the lake either walk all the way around, or go straight left close to the water to see the source of the waterfalls you passed on your way there.
Continue around and below there is another beautiful lake below. Eventually the markers start again and you have circled to where the green and yellow trails split.
A fantastic 3-3.5 hour walk, with many up and down undulating rocky areas, but well worth it.

Magnifique !! Superbe point de vue,ruisseau,cascade, lac,vallée. Difficulté selon niveau de la personne ! Très simple à suivre balise ligne verte affichée régulièrement.
Un refuge pour passer la nuit au bord du lac ! Chambre correcte, très bon repas et pas cher !!
Je recommande !
