Haiduta

Haiduta peak rises to an elevation of 2,465 meters within the Rila mountain range, offering views across multiple valleys and neighboring peaks.

The peak's name reflects the period of Bulgarian resistance fighters who used mountain hideouts during the Ottoman occupation in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The summit represents a connection to Bulgarian mountain traditions, with local shepherds maintaining seasonal practices in the surrounding alpine meadows.

Marked hiking trails lead to the summit from several starting points, with the eastern approach providing the most direct route during summer months.

The peak's position creates a natural observation point where visitors can spot both golden eagles and chamois in their natural environment.
