the rila lakes 01

The Seven Rila Lakes are a group of lakes of glacial origin, situated in Rila Mountains in Bulgaria at 2,100 to 2,500 m above the sea level. In this pic you can see five of them.

Each lake carries a name associated with its most characteristic feature.

To the left you can see Babreka ("The Kidney") -- the
lake with the steepest shores from the whole group.
Bliznaka ("The Twin") is the largest one by area.
Trilistnika ("The Trefoil") has an irregular shape and low shores.
The shallowest lake is Ribnoto Ezero ("The Fish Lake")
and the lowest one is Dolnoto Ezero ("The Lower Lake"),
where the waters that flow out of the other lakes are gathered
to form the Jerman River.
