Irechek, Mountain summit in Rila Mountains, Bulgaria
Iretschek is a mountain summit in the Rila range that offers sweeping views across numerous neighboring peaks in the Bulgarian mountains. The route follows marked trails with varying terrain and demands good physical conditioning and careful footing.
