Let me tell you about this experience - it was my first time hiking. It involved waking up at 6am after a night out and a total of 2 hours sleep. It also involved a really dodgy off-road jeep ride up the hill. We didn't fail to get lost and and at one point we had to climb up a waterfall where I honestly feared for my life.
But it was also loads of fun and the view from the top was totally breathtaking. If I lived near a mountain I would be climbing every other week!
Access to the Seven Rila Lakes is quite easy if you have a car and its just an hour away from Sofia. Once you get to the Parking area you can either take the dodgy jeep ride or get the lift (if it's working).
Don't forget to pack warm clothes, sunscreen. The weather in the mountain is unpredictable and when you reach that top. Put a lot of snacks and water in this bag, because you would like to reward yourself once you reach that top.
On your way back, just before you hop on the lift it's essential to chill in one of the Guest Houses with a Mursalski tea in hand, freshly picked from the mountain. And then straight home, cause this tea is an aphrodisiac.
