Pirin National Park: Pirin Mountain is a part of the Rilo-Rhodope massif. The Pirin National Park is the largest national park in Bulgaria and spans on an area of 26 480 ha. It includes areas where nature is best preserved ranging from about 1000 m altitude above the sea-level to Vihren peak (the second highest peak in Bulgaria - 2914 m altitude above the sea-level). Forests occupy more than 60% of the park area. The oldest tree in Bulgaria is found here – Baykushevata mura (white fir), which is more than 1200 years old. Within the relatively small area of the park one can find some unique animal species. More than 50 peaks with height exceeding 2 600 m, about 70 glacial lakes, numerous beautiful waterfalls, caves and magnificent gorges make this mountain amazingly beautiful. The preserved ecological equilibrium, the unique flora and fauna, the good tourist base and the original folklore of Pirin provide excellent conditions for recreation and sports.
