Gazey

Gazey rises to an elevation of 2,761 meters, featuring steep western slopes that descend toward the valley of Damyanitsa in the Pirin mountain range.

The peak has maintained its position as the ninth highest summit in the Pirin Mountains, contributing to Bulgaria's geographical documentation through multiple mapping expeditions.

Local mountaineers regularly organize expeditions to Gazey, incorporating the peak into their training programs for high-altitude climbs throughout the Balkans.

Access to Gazey requires technical climbing equipment and experience, with the most direct route starting from the Upper Polejan lake through the eastern ridge.

The cirque formed by Gazey's ridge contains two alpine lakes, ranking among the highest water bodies across the entire Balkan Peninsula.
