the peak on the right is the highest one in bulgaria


here are a few mroe.

Spectacular scenery. Is this in a national park or protected area in Bulgaria? Part of the Alps? There is no sign of farms or human activity.

this is not prat of the alps, this is in the Rila mountain 60 km to the south of sofia, the moutnain is 100 km long and 80 km wide and has many high peaks, the highest of them is 2925 m. It has the Rila national park and no, not many people live there as there is a complex valley system which isolates the very long valleys in the mountain of the civilisation.

And another few

^ this looks similar to jesenice or to some austrian alps but the picture is of not very high quality and overshapen so it does not show how ti looks properly
This is another valley with not that high peaks, still nice

Looks great in Bulgaria. Reminds me of the Tatra and Pyrenees.

thanks, but it does not look like that in many places in bulgaria, mostly in the rila mountain, very few other mountains have such steep slopes like the rila mountain, and you know what, the struma motorway will pass very closely to this mountain, in dupnica.

Hey verso, take a look here, similar to slovenia?

impressive pics, i love mountains

me too, the next thing after girls i love are mountains

Great scenery! It looks splendid! Interestingly enough, Bulgaria is almost the size of England in area, yet have only 7m people and dropping sharply, while England has over 50m and growing!

beautiful photos! nice landscapes :)

He took pics of the highest peak in bulgaria and the rila mountain Musala, he also took pics of some lakes arround Musalla and another peak Manchu. I did not take pics of there because the landscape there isn´t extreme enough for me, but thanks alot Zaro.

You can see that there are peaks which are so steep and have large rockwalls up to 600 m that they hardly get covered with snow, just look carefully, the peaks on the last pictures is not one of these peaks but still pretty steep. these are the biggest rockwalls and deepest valleys in Bulgaria, in the Rila mountain.

Here`s a panoramic pic of the Pirin mountain as seen from the Rila mountain, this is the other high mountain in bulgaira which is not that spectacular though.

No comments to the best pics in this thread by far, just look the pics, the peaks have really big rockwalls, just look how steep and deep the rockwalls go from the rockwalls down. These rockwalls are from 500 - 700 m and the biggest in bulgaria. the Rila mountain is the most spectacular and only alpine mountain in whole Bulgaria, other alpine mountains in Balkan Penasuela are Olymp and Prokletie, maybe a few more but for example Pirin in the last pic is not an alpine mountain.

Here´s another pic, this peak is not so spectacular though.

why did noone give his comment? Unbelievable.

I think the problem is that you didn't put it in the best section

Most people who come here are specifically drawn to photography, while normal people who just enjoy scenery, do not
the Travel section, if I had to choose, would have been the best place IMO
The problem with the travel section is that many trolls roam around, but I think it gets more coverage than this place

and what do you think about the pics?
