Good to know

Wear sturdy, closed-toe hiking shoes with good grip, as the Seven Lakes trek involves uneven terrain, steep inclines, and rocky paths.
Apply sunscreen to protect your skin from prolonged sun exposure at higher altitudes.
Pack a warm jacket and layers, especially for cooler temperatures at higher elevations, and be prepared for rapid weather changes.
Bring cash in BGN (Bulgarian Lev) for food, drinks, and any purchases at the huts along the route, as card payments may not always be accepted.
Carry snacks, such as energy bars or trail mix, to keep your energy levels up throughout the hike.
Take a small daypack for your essentials, as larger backpacks are not permitted on the trek.
