Bulgaria, with Vihren (2,914 m high) the highest peak, situated at .
The range extends about 40 km northwest-southeast, and about 25 km

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 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.
