The AREA around Mt MALIOVITZA
 


    1. Mt. Maliovitza (2729) is the most popular summit in North-West Rila Mountain, nearly as famous in Bulgaria as Materhorn in Switzerland.

    It’s North face*** (120 m high) is one of the most popular climbing walls in Bulgaria. It is situated at about 2 h from Maljovitza hut. In summer it’s more convenient to camp near the lakes Elenini or Mljovishki at about 30 min from the crag.

    The first ascention (Klasicheski route) here was made in 1938 by K. Savadjiev and G. Stoimenov. By now (as far as I know) there are about 15 routes here.
