Situated southwest of Samokov, the Maliovica region in Rila mountain is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Bulgaria. Because of its alpine relief /deep cirques, sharp pyramid-shaped peaks, rock pinnacles, various valleys, moraines and other typical glacial formations/ it is the favourite place of the Bulgarian rock climbers and alpinists and is regarded as the cradle of the Bulgarian alpinism. The famous 200 meter north face of the Maliovitsa peak is striking with its breathtaking appearance. Climbing the wall still is a great challenge for the experienced climbers.
