Angelov peak, Mountain summit in Rila, Bulgaria

Angelov Peak rises to 2,643 m in southwestern Rila, the highest summit of that part of the range. It stands on the watershed ridge between the Iliyna River and Dinkov Dol, dome-shaped above the Kadin Grob saddle and Uzunica Peak. Its southern slopes are steep, while the southeastern ones are gentle and covered with pasture; cirques cut into the northern and western sides. The mountain is built of granite.

This peak stands in territory where ancient Thracian peoples established settlements and carved pathways through the mountains. Mountain passages remained in use through centuries of trade and movement.

The name Angelov Peak comes from Angel Voyvoda, a haiduk (outlaw-rebel) leader remembered in Rhodope folklore; Polish sources instead trace it to haiduk Angel Kariotov. In Bulgarian, the name means "Angel's Peak". A street in Sofia's Ovcha Kupel quarter is also named after the peak.

Angelov Peak is reached from the Kadin Grob saddle, which lies to its northeast; the southern slopes are steep, while the southeastern ones are gentler and grass-covered. The northern and western sides hold cirques, so plan the approach along the watershed ridge between the Iliyna River and Dinkov Dol.
