Rila National Park is the largest national park in Bulgaria. The Park contains rare and endangered wildlife species and communities, self-regulating ecosystems of biological diversity, as well as historic sites of global cultural and scientific significance. Some of the largest rivers in the Balkan Peninsula originate here.
The names of Yonchevo and the Scary Lake contact the artist Hristo Yonchev – Kriskarets. He loved hiking in the mountain and was known for his Rila landscapes pictures. Once he was on the Scary Lake, a terrible storm caught up with him and he ran down. Along the way, he met other tourists and screaming “It’s scary up there, the lake is scary.” Then they named the upper lake “the Scary” and the lower lake named after the artist – “Yonchevo”.
There are 120 glacial lakes, including the prominent Seven Rila Lakes. The name Rila is derived from the Thracian word roula, meaning lots of water.
