The Seven Rila Lakes (Bulgarian: Седемте рилски езера, transliterated: Sedemte rilski ezera) are a group
of glacial lakes, situated in the northwestern Rila Mountain in Bulgaria. They are the most visited
group of lakes in Bulgaria. The lakes are situated between 2,100 and 2,500 metres elevation above sea
level.
Each lake carries a name associated with its most characteristic feature. The highest one is called
Salzata ("The Tear") due to its clear waters that allow visibility in depth. The next one in height
carries the name Okoto ("The Eye") after its almost perfectly oval form. Okoto is the deepest cirque
lake in Bulgaria, with a depth of 37.5 m. Babreka ("The Kidney") is the lake with the steepest shores of
the entire 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 Dzherman River.
The Seven Lakes are a tourist attraction in Bulgaria because of its natural environment. The lakes are
located one above the other and are connected by small streams, which form tiny waterfalls and cascades.
Tourist accommodation in the lakes' vicinity include a chalet on the northeastern shore of The Fish
Lake, at an elevation of 2,196 m.[citation needed] The most common time to visit the lakes is summer, in
July and August, when temperature is above 10 degrees Celsius and the risk of sudden storms is
lower.[citation needed] During the rest of the year the weather can be severe.[citation needed] The
lakes usually freeze during October, and do not melt before June. The ice cover can reach up to 2
meters.
