The Pirin mountain range is the second highest mountain range in Bulgaria. Extending over an area of 27,400ha and lying at an altitude of 1,008 - 2,914m in the Pirin mountains, the Pirin National Park has a limestone Balkan landscape, with lakes, waterfalls, caves and pine forests. The rugged mountains, with some 70 glacial lakes scattered throughout them, are home to hundreds of endemic and rare species, many of which are representative of the Balkan Pleistocene flora. The so-called Baikousheva mura (a Rumelian pine - Pinus heldreichii), whose age is estimated to be more than 1,300 years grows near to the Banderitsa chalet.The mountains also have diverse and unique landscapes of great aesthetic value.
