Murgash Peak, Mountain summit in Sofia Province, Bulgaria
Murgash Peak rises to 1,687 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes and a distinct dome-shaped structure composed of Paleozoic sedimentary rocks.
The establishment of a meteorological station on Murgash Peak in 1953 marked the beginning of continuous weather monitoring that continues to operate in present times.
The peak serves as a geographic landmark where two rivers, Baltuiska reka and Eleshnica, originate, while the Eleshnishki monastery stands at its western base.
Visitors can access the mountain through marked hiking trails, with the Murgash mountain hut providing accommodation at an elevation of 1,490 meters southwest of the peak.
The summit offers clear views of Sofia city, Rila Mountain with Musala peak, the Rhodope range, and even Serbian territories during favorable weather conditions.
