Tevno Lake

Tevno Lake, which is situated about 2515 meters above sea level, is one of the emblems of the majestic Pirin Mountain and a popular tourist destination. Tevno Lake and the surrounding area are breathtakingly beautiful, whether you visit the Pirin Mountain in the winter or the summer.

Tevno Lake is located on a terraced plateau near the Momin Dvor and Valyavishki chukar peaks. It is the highest and largest lake in the Belemeto Circus, which has over 30 small lakes and is located on the southeast. The name "Tevno" is derived from the word "dark" in the local dialect. It has a surface area of 65 acres and a depth of 4 meters. The Lake is the headwaters of the Mozgovitsa River, where you can find the lake-named small shelter.

The region is a great starting point for the stunning Momin Dvor, Kralev Dvor, Zhangala, and Kamenitsa peaks, which can all be reached in 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, and 30 minutes, respectively. One of Pirin's most stunning views can be found on the northwest shore of the lake, on the slopes of Valyavishki Chukar, where Momin Dvor, Kralev Dvor, Little Kamenitsa, Kamenitsa, and Kamenishka Kukla are all reflected in the lake's deep blue waters.

Begovitsa (Kamenitsa) and Demyanitsa huts serve as starting points for Tevno Lake during the winter and entering the Mozgovishka Porta area during the winter necessitates the use of special winter gear.

You can get hot food and a warm bed at Tevno Lake Shelter, which is right by the lake. From there, you can spend an unforgettable night in the mountains, close to the stars, and surrounded by towering peaks. The shelter is a sizable 30-bed, 2-story structure. There is a dining area and kitchen for tourists. The toilets are outside, the water comes from a spring, and it is electrified with aggregate. It is accessible all year long. The shelter is located along the E-4 route in Europe.

Once you visit here, you'll never leave without returning.
