📍 Rila Mountain, 4 km after the town of Rila, in the direction of Rila Monastery

🚗 The trailhead is located right by the main road. Just a few meters ahead on the right, a dirt road branches off — you can park there: 42.13192208696586, 23.15292547769684

🥾 The route is circular and passes several scenic waterfalls. There are two options:
– An easy forest path, suitable for everyone
– An extreme canyon route, featuring ropes and steep sections, ideal for thrill-seekers

🕒 The full loop takes around 45 minutes (1.25 km, elevation gain/loss ±151 m)

💧 There is a water fountain near the starting point, next to a picnic shelter.

🧒 Child-friendly: ✅ Yes, but only via the easy trail. The extreme route is not suitable for children or people with a fear of heights.
