Malka Musala

Malka Musala is a summit in southwestern Bulgaria's Rila Mountain. With an elevation of 2,902 meters, it is the second highest peak in Rila after Musala (2,925 meters), the fourth highest peak in Bulgaria after Vihren (2,914 meters) and Kutelo (2,908 meters) in the Pirin Mountain, and the seventh highest peak in the Balkan Peninsula.

The summit is located to the north-east of Musala and is separated from it by a rocky ridge. The ridge extends north-easterly to the summits of Irechek (2,852 m) and Deno (2,852 m) (2,790 m). The Musala Cirque and the highest of the seven Musala Lakes are located to the north-west. The slopes of Malka Musala form two cirques to the south and east, descending to the deep valley of the Maritsa River. The cirque between Malka Musala and Musala is devoid of water, whereas the one between Malka Musala and Irechek contains a glacial lake that serves as the source of a stream that flows into the Maritsa.

Malka Musala was officially named Dimitov between 1950 and 1989, after Bulgarian communist leader Georgi Dimitrov.
