The Rila Mountains are characterised by magnificent coniferous forests and alpine scenery. Mt. Musala (2925m), which is the highest point on the Balkan Peninsula, along with other summits towering with their majestic size and rounded form, make an impressive contrast to the sharp marble peaks of the neighbouring Pirin Mountains.
"Some of Europe's finest highland scenery is found in the Rila, Pirin, Balkan, Sredna Gora and Rodopi mountain ranges, whose valleys harbour the kind of bucolic villages which have all but disappeared in Western Europe".
