Well-Watered Mountain
Located in southwestern Bulgaria, the Rila Mountains are the highest mountain range in the Balkans. Due to the abundance of glacial lakes throughout the range, “Rila” is thought to mean “well-watered mountain”. The range’s melting lakes create a number of rivers and waterfalls, including Goritza Falls, located near the village of Ovchartzi.
