6 Sights in Bansko, Bulgaria (with Map and Images)

Vihren is the highest peak of Bulgaria's Pirin Mountains. Reaching 2,914 metres (9,560 ft), it is Bulgaria's second and the Balkans' third highest, after Musala and Mount Olympus. Although Vihren is deprived of lakes and streams due to the karst topography, a number of Pirin's lakes are located around the peak, as is Europe's southernmost glacial mass, the Snezhnika glacieret. Until 1942 Vihren was known as Eltepe ; it was also called Buren (stormy) and Malnienosets (lightning-bringer). The UNESCO World Heritage Site Pirin National Park was originally known as the Vihren National Park. Vihren is included in the 100 Tourist Sites of Bulgaria under No. 2.

The node is a peak in Pirin, located on the central ridge to the east of Banderishki Chukar peak. With its 2620 m above sea level, it is relatively low compared to the surrounding peaks. It takes its name from the fact that Todorin Rid originates from it to the north. In addition, at the Node, the central one slopes to the south. The peak is not rocky and difficult to access, it is a place often visited by tourists, because in the immediate vicinity passes the path from the Vihren hut to Tevno Lake. Wherever it is viewed, it looks accessible and does not impress with edges and rocks. The Banderitsa Circus and the circuses of the Vasilashki and Bashliyski lakes begin from it. The Vihren and Demyanitsa huts are the closest exit points for Vazela peak.
