Halloween Costumes When You're On Crutches

Bulgaria: Borovets - Rila

After a first post dedicated to Vratza This is the second on Bulgaria. Starting from Vratza, armed with a map (5arita) and some provisions in the car, we (my husband and I) have followed the red trail on the map below to discover two wonderful places:
- Borovets to some 73 km from Sofia the capital, a mountain resort located in the town of Smakov . In winter Borovets is the largest ski resort throughout Bulgaria, it has twice hosted the World Cup Alpine skiing .

- Rila , famous for its seven Lake circus I would call the best circuit in the world, a magical mountain range in southwestern Bulgaria.

Circuit : Departure of Vratza => = Borovets> Rila

short, I can not find words to describe the wonders of nature in these parts of the world, so I chose to do a small report Photo story to share the beauty of the sites we've done because I know Bulgaria is not the preferred destination for Tunisian saw the problem of language, yes with a few tourist cities like Varna (which will be a future post), where we practice English, we speak only Bulgarian.

on the road again ...

Arriving at Borovets , you can taste the food in its Bulgarian eateries Sympa

a ti resto to start

We really hesitate to take the cable car, old I do not know how long that takes you to the top Yastrebets 2363 meters of altitude.

that date far this thing:) but it has survived:)

The adventure begins :)

You just follow the colored marks on the stones where the trees sometimes, it seems that it is possible to go through this path in Rila in 3 days, are hikers that we met that we had learned, unfortunately we were not well equipped to do, no tent or anything ... in addition we let our business and our car in a motel at the foot of the mountain ...

Here are some pictures ...

must follow the red marks that you find all the 20 to 50 meters to the circuit

I assure you that under our feet is the EMPTY o_O

Back in town:)

yes yes it is amazing but all units of the motel we took were "Ittisalett touness":) I forgot name but was in Borovets

Second Place in magic now Rila and seven lakes, a breathtaking place to go ... it gets its water sources hop on and take the trail ...

Normally we would go some way in a Jeep that you can rent there, but it was arrived late, they had already departed, we therefore opted for walking, one kilometer walk, it uses it uses ...

arrived at the first lake Dolnoto Ezero which means the bottom of the lake located at 2095 meters altitude anyway!

second lake, Ribno Ezero which means the lake and fish which is the shallowest of all located 2 186 meters above sea level. There was a "5ija" ie, a guest house. In Bulgaria there are "5ija" across the mountains, they offer shelter and food to travelers and hikers to almost nothing. We went to sleep there, it was full but the manager offered us to sleep in his room at the same the floor:) We gave up because the atmosphere was morbid at that time, someone had stumbled nearby and had smashed his skull a few feet lower, it was passed just hand it was elongated and covered by his cloak, his fellow travelers were in a tizzy ... I could not take a picture out of respect: /

Otherwise around "5ija" there were hundreds of tents where people spend the night ...

The food at 2 in under this "5ija" is super super disgusting but it warms the cold:)

the 5ija is right behind me with the tents around

we were on the road to the other lakes ...

arrived on the 3rd lake, Trilistnika (3 sheets), located at 2216 meters altitude

it starts to freeze here ...

In the clouds ... for real:)))

Arrived on 4th lake twin because it is close to the lake next to 2243 meters

fifth lake, Babreka which means the kidney (in Because of its shape) to 2282 meters, well off a lake surrounded by a river stone

And the sixth lake the Okoto (eye), deepest (37.5 meters) to 2,440 meters

sixth lake Okoto (eye) to 2440 meters

Unfortunately we could not continue to the seventh lake Salzata (tear) located at 2535 meters above sea level as it was getting late and we had an hour to redo the road all afternoon before the night falls and we make a good meal for the beasts ...

Bon 7th Lake is the top, it seems that it is frozen, but we will not go away: (

and then we took our way back into power because they feared that the night falls, I remember that we took a wrong path and when we realized this was not very nice because we were burst and we had to re up the hill was hard o_O ouch. It should not be in the wrong side of the mountain either, because there was a big risk to find no trace of civilization and get lost in the forest, forest and when I say:) it means that c ' is a real forest with wolves, bears and all sorts of wild beasts ...
