Mountain hiking from Bansko to Vasilashki lakes with InterBansko

The Vasilashki Lakes are situated in Pirin, Bulgaria in a large cirque between the Todorka and Vasilashki Chukar peaks. The cirque is opened to the east, where it faces the Demyanitsa river in which the water of the lakes pour. This cirque also includes the two lakes Todorini Ochi (Todora’s Eyes), whose waters goes to one of the Vasilaski lakes. The cirque is amphitheatric and in fact consists of several smaller cirques situated in a fan-shape way above the main one, in which the two largest lakes are located. The lakes are 10 including the two Todorini, with a total surface area of 160 decares. Their name derives from the legent for Vasil, the beloved one of Todorka, who plunged into the Fish Vasilashko lake when she broke his heart. The most important lakes are:
  • The Tevno Vasilashko Lake, called also the Blue Lake is one of the largest and deepest lakes in the mountain, and is first by these indicators in the group. The lake has exceptional beauty, saturated blue waters and a tiny islet in the middle. The water pours out in the Upper Vasilashko Lake by means of underground stream, which makes it impossible for the fish to reach it.
  • The Fish Vasilashko Lake, sometimes referred as the Big Vasilashko Lake, is second in size and is situated slightly below the Upper Lake. The lake gathers the water of the whole cirque. At first, it forms an underground river under the ridge but at a distance of 250 m the waters appear on the surface and sweeps down the slopes. The lake teems with trout, which has eventually given its name.
  • The Upper Vasilashko Lake shape resembles that of a boomerang. It is also the place where the water from the Todora’s Eyes and Tevnoto Lake pour in.
  • The Rainbow-shaped Vasilashko Lake is situated in a separate small cirque under the Tipits Peak at 2,215 m. The lake has a shape of an irregular pentagonal, whose eastern side is curved as a rainbow. Its water pour into the Fish Lake under the ground.
  • The Upper Todorino Lake is the larger of the two lakes of the same name. It is almost perfectly round. The two lakes are also famous as the Todora’s Eyes to remember the maiden Todorka who bewailed her beloved Vasil and her tears created the lakes.
  • The Lower Todorino Lake is located at 2,510 m which makes it one of the ten highest lakes in Pirin.
The walk goes up and down past Demianitsa River. The hiking tours start from Bansko and goes up past the river to Vasilashki Lakes. Visiting the most beautiful waterfall in Pirin. The way back is the same like the way up.
