Mancho

The Mancho summit reaches 2,771 meters in elevation and features steep slopes on its western, northern, and eastern faces within the Rila mountain range.

The mountain developed through geological processes within the Rila-Rhodope massif, forming its current granite bifurcated peak structure over millions of years.

Local Bulgarian communities maintain traditional connections to the Rila mountains through annual celebrations and gatherings that honor the natural environment.

Experienced mountaineers can access Mancho through marked trails from Blagoevgrad, with winter ascents requiring additional safety equipment and careful planning.

The northwestern slope of Mancho forms the walls of the Maritsa cirque, where the Marichini Lakes create a natural water system at high altitude.
