Chakar Voyvoda Hut

Located right in front of the Musala Hut, the Lower Musala Lake is the lowest of the seven Musala lakes. In the summer, clumps of fireweed bloom along its shore, and schools of small fish can be spotted in its shallow pools. Its area is 13.4 decares and it is 1.6 meters deep.

The Sphinx is a rock formation resembling (controversially) the famous guardian of the pyramids in Giza. It is located in the saddle between Deno and Irechek peaks, and is clearly visible from Musala Hut, as well as from a large part of the main trail to Musala Peak.

Deno Peak is the fifth highest peak in Rila. It is located on the main Musala ridge, alongside the four peaks that surpass it in height: Irechek, Malka Musala, Musala, and Lyudmil Yankov. The trail between the Musala Hut and Chakar Voyvoda Hut passes along its northern slope. From there, you can take a detour to the summit, though this "detour" involves a rather lengthy walk up a steep, grassy slope. The famous "Sphinx" rock formation is located on the peak's southeastern slope.
