    The Hot Mineral Baths in our mountains offer the perfect place to relax and unwind. Soaking in the healing thermal waters of an open-air pool, surrounded by the breathtaking peaks of the Rila Mountain, is nothing short of a fairytale-like experience. We will guide you around the amazing nature of the Mineral baths area in the middle of the mountain. We will show you the geysers, the baths and the stunning natural places around. If there are other people in the group who also booked to see the Rila Monastery, we will first shortly go to the Monastery and then head towards the baths.
