The Pirin Mountains are a mountain range in southwestern Bulgaria, with Vihren being the highest peak at 2,914 m. The range stretches about 80 kilometers from north to south and is about 40 kilometers wide, encompassing a 2,585-square-kilometer area (998 sq mi). Pirin is home to Europe's southernmost glaciers, Snezhnika and Banski Suhodol, as well as over a hundred glacial lakes. Polezhan is the Pirin range's fifth highest peak. The coordinates of the mountain are 41°43′N 23°29′E

Hizha Bezbog, named after the nearby village of Bezbog, is the closest mountain hut. The mountain hut is roughly 2-3 hours from Polezhan, depending on the weather. The Upper Polezhan Lake (2,706 m), Bulgaria's second highest lake, and the Upper Gazei Lake, both located near Polezhan, are the highest lakes in Pirin.
