Orelyak, Mountain summit in Blagoevgrad Province, Bulgaria.
Orelyak peak reaches 2,099 meters in elevation and features steep western slopes that descend vertically into the Pirinska Bistritsa river valley.
The northern slopes of Orelyak were designated as a nature reserve to safeguard the ancient beech forests that characterize Central Pirin.
The peak holds significance in Bulgarian mountaineering traditions, serving as a destination for both experienced climbers and nature enthusiasts.
Visitors can reach the summit through a marked trail from Popovi Livadi refuge, with an alternative 10-kilometer gravel road providing vehicle access.
A 96-meter radio and television repeater stands near the peak's summit, supporting regional communications while marking this geological formation.
