Pirin – high mountain in the Pirin part of Macedonia, Republic of Bulgaria. It stretches in the direction northwest-southeast, between the valleys of the river and places and the valleys after them, with a length of up to 70 km, and a medium width of 30-35 km. It belongs to the Rhodope mass, which is the oldest land of the Balkan Peninsula. Tectonic movements that were affected by this mountain conditioned to be raised and displaced as a typical Horst. With the translation area (1,140 m) and the Valley of the construction river, the north is separated from Mount Rila, and with the Paralian Preval (1,170 m) and the valleys of the rivers Goleska and Borovica in the south, is separated from Mount Slavjanka. The total area of Pirin is 1.210 km², and the mean height is 1.033 m. The geological composition is presented with crystalline shale, Gneiss, marbles, granites, etc. Large displaced lines from the west, east and north limit its periphery. Morphographic, Pirin is divided into three parts: north – high, medium and south – low. Following its shape, medium and South Pirin look at each other, so as compared to North Pirin there are great differences. Northern Pirin stretches from the proud landscape (1,140 m) to the north, to Todorova Polyana (1,883 m) to the south. The highest parts are limestone. This section rises the highest and most famous peaks: Vihren (2,914 m), the highest peak, kitelo (2,908 m), Ban ski Suvodol (2,884 m). The middle pyrin in the south extends to the pop outlock. This is the smallest part of the surface, and at the same time a lower part of North Pirin with the highest peak Elythell (2,099 m). South Pirin occupies a larger area of northern. It is the lowest, and the highest peak is Saintly (1,975 m). In the Pleistocene, the high parts of northern Pirin (over 2,000 m) were occupied with glaciation, so as a consequence there is a glacial forms: cirs, rolls, morories, etc. A number of glacial lakes have been formed in the Circles. Especially known Byenderial and Vlachin Lakes, Vasilas, etc. Among them is the biggest lake, and at the highest altitude (2,700 m) is the juicy lake. The tributaries of Struma and places are deeply in the mountain sides, giving them a ribbement. Pirin forests, high-mountain pastures and variety geomorphological forms are a real basis for tourism development.
