Walking

The Rila mountains are a well kept secret. The region offers fantastic opportunities for exploring mountain walks, lakes and national monuments. The hotel Invicta is within reach of the most famous Bulgarian treasures and makes it a fantastic base for a walking holiday. There are plenty of well known trails to follow or you can venture further afield into the national park with local guides.
