It comprises the most beautiful and attractive part of the Pirin Mountain, including the peak of Vihren. Vihren is the most majestic peak of the mountain, located in the northern part of Pirin. Known by tourists as the peak of the storms, Vihren attracts them mostly for the reason that it is the highest peak in the Pirin mountains - 2914 m., and third in height on the Balkan Peninsula.
