After spending few days wandering through the beautiful waterfalls and peaceful forests of the Belasitsa Mountains, it was time for a change of scenery. This time, we decided to head north, leaving behind the rolling green hills and entering the rugged world of Pirin Mountain.
Our destination: the Vihren Mountain Hut (хижа Вихрен) and the famous Banderishki Lakes, a cluster of glacial lakes nestled in a high alpine cirque. The plan for the day was a relatively easy but incredibly rewarding hike, from Vihren Hut to Fish Banderishko Lake (Рибно Бъндеришко езеро) and then further up to the smaller but equally charming Frog Lake (Жабешко езеро).
