Haiduta, Mountain summit in Rila Mountains, Bulgaria
Haiduta is a mountain peak in the Rila range that rises to approximately 2,460 meters. From here, hikers enjoy views across multiple valleys and neighboring ridges.
The peak's name comes from Bulgarian resistance fighters who sheltered in mountain hideouts during the 18th and 19th centuries. This tradition of seeking refuge in high places was central to local resistance efforts.
The name references Bulgarian resistance fighters who operated in mountain regions. Visitors can observe traditional herding practices today in the surrounding alpine pastures.
Marked trails approach the summit from various starting points, with the eastern route being most direct during summer months. Visitors should bring sturdy footwear, water, and a map for navigation.
The summit sits at a natural observation point where visitors can spot golden eagles and chamois in their natural habitat. These animals regularly use the rocky slopes and ridges around the peak.
