Kovach Peak, Mountain summit in the Rila Mountains, Bulgaria

Kovach Peak is a granite mountain summit in the Rila Mountains that stands at 2634 meters elevation within the Rila National Park. From the top, views extend across neighboring mountain ranges and the deep valleys that cut through the terrain.

The peak was called Nalbant until 1942, when its name was changed to Kovach. It lies in the Kovach division of eastern Rila, the part of the range that bears its name, in Yakoruda municipality. The summit stands at 2634 m and is the easiest of the area's high points to reach from the town.

The peak was called Nalbant until 1942, when it was renamed Kovach; the old name survives in the Nalbant locality and in the route descriptions used by walkers. The summit also gives its name to the Kovach division of the eastern Rila. The easiest access is from the town of Yakoruda in the same municipality.

Hiking trails to the peak start from Yakoruda town, and guided tours are available from June through September when weather conditions allow for safe climbs. Check conditions before heading out, as mountain weather can change quickly and affect trail accessibility.

Until 1942 the peak was called Nalbant; the present name Kovach means "smith" in Bulgarian. Its eastern slopes are vertical and used for climbing, while the easiest route comes from the south, about an hour and a half from the Nehtenitsa area along the Malka Banenska River.
