Ribnoto Lake (The Fish Lake)

Shortly after Rilski Ezera Hut, the trail has a brief, steep section that might seem discouraging. However, once you overcome it, the rest of the route is almost flat. Most of the time, you will see the Dolnoto (Lower) Lake, which will be down to your left. Shortly before reaching Sedemte Ezera Hut, you will cross a small stream, which is actually the Dzherman River - the river into which the Seven Lakes drain. Another climb follows, much shorter this time, and immediately after it, you will find yourself on the shore of the Ribnoto (Fish) Lake, where the hut itself is located.

We head towards Rilski Ezera (Rila Lakes) Hut, and just before the small stream coming down from Trilistnika (The Trefoil) Lake, we detour to the right, following the green and yellow trail markings. There are three easy ways to get confused here: The detour is hidden among dwarf pine, so it is not very easy to spot. There is another detour before it which leads along an unmarked path straight to Dolnoto (The Lower) Lake. If we take that one, we will have to find a way to navigate to the left through the puddles and streams filling the meadows along the lakeshore in order to catch the green/yellow trail to Lovna Hut. If we still end up by the lakeshore, we must be careful not to take the blue trail, which goes towards Vada Hut. Afterwards, we simply follow our trail down along the Dzherman River, enter the forest, and walk through it until we reach the junction where the yellow and green markings split. We need to take the right turn following the green trail. The detour is poorly marked and can easily be missed, so once we enter the forest, we must carefully watch the color of the trail markers on the trees. A steep descent follows, and after about fifteen minutes, we come out onto the meadow in front of Lovna Hut.
