BULGARIA IS UNDERRATED! Rila Monastery & 7 Rila Lakes 🇧🇬

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.
