Dzhangal, Mountain summit in Pirin Mountains, Bulgaria.

Dzhangal stands at coordinates 41.70658 latitude and 23.49779 longitude, featuring granite blocks covered with lichens and mosses on its surface.

The peak received its name from the Turkish word referring to a sheep without a lamb, connected to traditional sheep shearing practices.

The mountain plays a role in Bulgarian mythology through the tale of Dzhengal, son of god Perun, who defeated the evil god Bez.

Multiple climbing routes lead to the summit, with the most accessible path starting from Samodivski Lakes and ascending toward Momin Dvor.

The western slopes present vertical cliffs rising 120 meters, providing technical climbing opportunities for experienced mountaineers.
