Itinerary description
Trekking trail which is possible without serious mountain equipment in summer months (from june to mid-october) starting from Kirilova (or Partizanska) polyana. Road is leading you through beautiful canyon of Rila river, all the way to Tiha Rila and mountain hut Ribni Ezera. After that, you can take really long ridge-tour which include next peaks: Josifica, Kanarata, Cherna Polyana, Pavlev Vrh, Ostrec, Rilec, Teodosijeve karaule and Baba, finish is in Rila monastery. Tracklog is 38km long, I did it in 2 days, path is not steepy, it's not harsh, except some parts (approach to Pavlev vrh and Rilec peak). Be carefull in conditions of low visibility, bring your GPS device with you.
