Kaymakchal

The granite peak of Kaymakchal rises to 2753 meters, offering views of four surrounding cirques: Gazeyski, Yulen, Perlresh, and Desilishki.

The summit's name derives from Turkish influence, reflecting the long-standing cultural exchanges between Bulgarian and Ottoman civilizations in the Pirin region.

The mountain territory belongs to the Yulen Reserve within Pirin National Park, preserving numerous plant and animal species native to the Balkan Peninsula.

Visitors can reach the summit through various unmarked paths from Gazeyski cirque, Yulen cirque, or Desilishki cirque near Pleshivoto Lake.

A rocky formation called Ushitsite extends from Kaymakchal's south-southeast side, connecting to the first spire of peak Golyama Strazha.
