Skip the DIY headache and book a shared shuttle from Sofia for the Seven Rila Lakes hike. You need a solid six hours for the full loop, but the chairlift cuts out the boring lower incline. The Monastery itself is fine, though get there early to avoid the tour bus swarm. Bring actual waterproof boots—the terrain gets gnarly fast. If you value your time more than cash, a private guide keeps you moving ahead of the slow-moving crowds.
