THE PIRIN MOUNTAINS (Bulgaria)
Bulgaria's Pirin Mountains (the name may derive from Perun, "Thor" of the Slavs) have over a hundred glacial lakes and Europe's southernmost glaciers. Pirin National Park protects the northern part. The range has some of the country's best forest, and species such as brown bear, gray wolf, wildcat, etc. The Melnik Earth Pyramids are in the southern foothills.
