Description

At nearly 10,000 feet (2,925 meters) in elevation, Musala lays claim to the tallest mountain in Bulgaria. While it doesn’t reach as high as some of Europe’s other mountains, Musala is just as breathtaking, thanks to a cluster of charming forests and rolling mountain tops. © Mihail Kozuharov
