Mount Musala

Mount Musala 
Musala is the largest, most picturesque and majestic peak not only in Bulgaria but also for the whole of Southeast Europe and Balkans in particular. With its altitude of 2925 meters, Musala occupies sixth place among the highest mountain points immediately after the Caucasus, the Alps, Sierra Nevada, the Pyrenees and Mount Etna.


Musala stands dignified in the eastern part of the Rila Mountain, which is located in Bulgaria. The average temperature of Musala is 3.1 degrees, and its snow cover stays for 8 months.

It is believed that the origin of the name Musala comes from the Turkish language and literally translates as "path to God." In particular, the name probably comes from Allah mousse, which in Turkish means "mountain of Allah". The name comes from from the times when Bulgaria was under Turkish rule.
