Valyavishki Chukar

Located at coordinates 41°42'11"N 23°28'38"E, Valyavishki Chukar rises to an elevation of 2,664 meters within the Pirin mountain range in southwestern Bulgaria.

The summit marks the intersection of three cirques - Belemeto, Valyavishki, and Prevalski - and has been a reference point for mountaineers throughout Bulgaria's alpine history.

The name Valyavishki Chukar, written in Bulgarian as Валявишки чукар, reflects the local naming tradition of peaks in the Pirin Mountains region.

Visitors can reach the summit through a 20-minute climb from the Tevno Ezero shelter, following marked trails that connect to the Demyanitsa refuge.

Two massive rock edges extend from the northern slope, with one reaching the shores of the largest Valyavishki Lake and the other forming the eastern boundary of Prevalski cirque.
