This small town is the last step before the monastery. The road to the monastery is winding and sometimes narrow. It is possible to stop in Rila to change buses, and eventually to spend the night there. If you have a car, the restaurants on the way to the monastery offer pleasant terraces along the river and serve local trout, for example in a charming restaurant at the exit of the hamlet of Pastra. The storks are a real population here, we can see their nests on every chimney of Rila and their return every year. From the monastery you can hike along the river and to the peaks.
