Golyam Perelik (2 191 m.) is the highest Rhodopean peak. The Rhodopes rank the seventh place among the Bulgarian mountains with it. The mountain ridge is covered with beautiful pine forests, and picturesque meadows are hidden among the trees. The area near the peak is very attractive in all seasons and offers plenty of opportunities for hiking, caving and skiing.
This area is a real treasure and the tourists' favorite place. On your way up you can pick aromatic herbs. Golyam Perelik is easily accessible, but currently it cannot be climbed because there is a unit of the Bulgarian Army, stationed in the surrounding of the peak. That is why the walk ends to the "The house of bears".
