Dolno Ribno Ezero (Lower Fish Lake)

Ribni Ezera (Fish Lakes) Hut is most frequently accessed from the Tiha Rila canton, as a dirt road suitable for off-road vehicles reaches it from Kirilova Polyana. From there to the hut, it takes only about an hour along a steep but well-marked trail through dwarf pine and small meadows. The asphalt road ends at Kirilova Polyana, so it is possible to leave your car there and walk along the dirt road to Tiha Rila on foot, as described here. Kirilova Polyana and Tiha Rila are located in a valley with little wind and plenty of water, so it is a good idea to stock up on repellent against the mosquitoes, which are found in abundance there.
