  • We were shocked that this is Bulgaria! As Americans, when we talk about Eastern Europe, most people have a negative perception of the place, which can taint your expectations of a place.
    But, little do they know about the beautiful nature and mountains, delicious food, rich history and monasteries, and the wonderful people of Bulgaria. In this Bulgaria vlog, we set out to hike the 7 Rila Lakes in Rila National Park and visit the stunning Rila Monastery. Along the journey, we meet wonderful people, enjoy the incredible views atop Bulgaria’s highest mountain range, and experience the best things to do in Bulgaria.

    I was in Bulgaria right after the fall of the wall, about 30 years ago I quess. I hiked in the Rila and Pirin mountains. At that time, there were no wooden fences at the 7 lakes. I came from the mountain right to the Rila monastery and slept there for one night.
    That vacation stayed in my mind as one of most beautifell vacation. The country, the nature, the food, and the friendly people made me want to come back. Which I did, I live in Bulgaria permanently.

I manage to eat in a restaurant with only bulgarian menu and waitress with zero German/English, ride the train and roam around with local buses. The locals have annoyed faces but don't be put off from it they are actually very helpful with English or no English.... And get Bulgarian money some restaurant don't accept card.... I am a brown asian and i get stare like a confused stare but they actually smile once they start talking to me...

    In 2006 I traveled to Bulgaria to spend time with my then girlfriend who is from Sofia. One of the things we did was to go to the seven Rila lakes and camp. At that time there was no ski lift and we hiked all the way from the bottom. There was no one on the mountain but us at that time. We camped at the first Lake and drank more than our fair share of vodka that evening. The next morning the lake was like glass. Absolutely stunning. We continued to the other lakes and then made our way back down in a thunderstorm quickly. It's a great memory that I will never forget and although the place is more accessible now, it is also not the same as it was. All these years later we are married and have three kids and currently reside in Texas.

    Majority of us Brits sneer their nose up at Bulgaria because of the arrogance and snobbery towards Eastern Europe, which is ridiculous and embarrassing beyond belief - I feel very ashamed of Brits when they discredit this part of the world when many of them have never visited, and have no personal experience to form their own opinion.
    Personally, I’ve been exploring Bulgaria with my Bulgarian girlfriend for the past 5 years and the country is honestly stunning and beautiful.
    If you ever go back you should check out the Buzluga hike - it’s such an adventure!
    I’m going to head to Rila in a couple of weeks! Thanks for sharing this video and all the tips. :)

You guy's should have done the hike from the Rila monastery to the 7 lakes and come down with the lift instead. It's more complicated and you need to go by bus.

    My girlfriend and I did a Rila Monastery and 7 Lakes tour. The van we were in couldn't make it up the mountain to the 7 Lakes because it was snowing like crazy....IN OCTOBER. 😂
    It was actually only snowing as we were getting closer to the top. There wall literally a random cut-off on the mountain road where the decent weather ended and the snowy weather began. Our driver told us he'd never seen it happen at that time of year before, so he hadn't changed to winter tires. We missed out on the lakes, but really enjoyed the Monastery and other church he brought us to.
    It looks beautiful. Going to have to revisit Bulgaria for attempt #2. 😃

    Guys I’m from Bulgaria 🇧🇬 and I live between Rila Pirin and the Rhodopes! It is very nice when you see that the first impression of people who have not visited this country before is so nice! I am very glad that you came to Bulgaria! Many foreigners have not yet realized that Bulgaria is such a beautiful place! Many people do not like Bulgaria and have not even gotten to know it, have not discovered its secrets! You are amazing keep going up and up! I am Yana, 13 years old, from BULGARIA (Razlog city)🇧🇬❤️🇧🇬❤️🍃🏔🏞

    yesterday an irish man came and asked me if i spoke english, he wanted a buy a ticket to plovdiv and then to sofia , i can't believe a guy like him is out alone crossing countries, i mean he was atleast 60+ . yet he choose bulgaria, watching these makes me really wounder about my country, we grew up in it so that means we can't aknoledge the wounders and beuties of our nature .watching videos like these makes me understand 1st how underated my country is , 2 why we still have tourists altough covid is still going . 3rd you never know what you have until you lose it .

I’m 68 years old and have travelled extensively. I’ve never been to any roots . I’ve been to the Czech Republic and the geography and architecture look very similar. Thank you for your videos.

    That's the best mekitsas I've ever tasted in that huge monastery. Congrats on trying the best ones first! They used to bake and sell them at every corner when I was growing up in the 80s, but nothing beats the Rila Monastery ones. The home-made ones are distinctly different from these. P.S. Thank you for picking up that soda can and helping keep the mountain clean!

Or Nesebar, Gabrovo to see Etara and the beautiful Yantra river or enjoy the carnival that they do every summer, or Veliko Turnovo and the fort there. So many places to see and to go.
