Golyam Rezen, Mountain summit in Sofia City Province, Bulgaria.
Located in the Vitosha Mountain range, Golyam Rezen reaches an elevation of 2,277 meters and stands as the second-highest peak in the area.
The peak has served as a critical point for air traffic control and military communications, hosting various installations throughout Bulgaria's modern development.
The name Golyam Rezen translates to 'Big Slice' in Bulgarian, reflecting the local naming traditions of the mountain's physical characteristics.
During winter months, visitors can access the peak via a chair lift that connects to the Vitoshko Lale ski run, descending to Dervishka Bachiya.
