Golyam Perelik

The Golyam Perelik peak stands at 2191 meters above sea level in the Rhodope Mountains, offering views of Rila, Pirin, and Mount Olympus.

The summit has maintained its position as the highest point in the Rhodope Mountains, marking a natural boundary between Bulgaria and Greece through centuries.

The peak holds a special place in Bulgarian outdoor recreation as part of the prestigious 100 Tourist Sites of Bulgaria collection.

Access to the summit requires proper hiking equipment and careful planning, as the final section features unpaved roads suitable for 4x4 vehicles.

A military base occupies the peak's summit, making it one of the few Bulgarian mountains where access is regulated by military presence.
