Bansko's Essential Treasures

Bansko serves as the primary gateway to Pirin National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its rugged marble peaks and glacial landscapes. This collection highlights the area's diverse landmarks, from Vihren, the range's highest point at 2,914 meters, to the 1,300-year-old Baikushev's Pine. It includes essential mountain infrastructure like the narrow-gauge railway station, the central gondola lift, and a network of high-altitude alpine huts that provide access to the Koncheto ridge and Popovo Lake.
