Pirin Mountains:
The
Pirin Mountains (Bulgarian: Ïèðèí) are a mountain range in southwestern
Bulgaria, with Vihren (2,914 m high) the highest peak, situated at .
The range extends about 40 km northwest-southeast, and about 25 km
wide. Most of the range is protected in a national park, the Pirin
National Park. The mountain is named after Perun (Cyrillic: Ïåðóí), the
highest god of the Slavic pantheon and the god of thunder and lightning.
To the north Pirin is separated from Bulgaria's highest mountain Rila
by the Predel saddle while to the south it reaches the Slavyanka
mountain. To the west is located the valley of the Struma and to the
east of the Mesta Rivers. Pirin is noted for its rich flora and fauna.
Much of the area is forested, with the best conifer woods in Bulgaria,
holding important populations of the Balkan endemic species Macedonian
Pine, Bosnian Pine and Bulgarian Fir. Animals include the Wolf and the
Brown Bear.
The town of Bansko, an important tourism and winter sports centre, is
situated on the northeast slopes of the Pirin Mountains. The town of
Razlog lies in a valley between Pirin to the south and the Rila
Mountains to the north.
