Malak Rezen is a 2,191-meter peak located in the northeastern section of Mount Vitosha. Travelers visit this point for the mountain scenery and the views overlooking the Aleko area and the Stenata slope.
Getting There
The peak is accessible from Sofia city centre. Most visitors travel to the Aleko tourist hub via taxi or public transport and then proceed on foot. Depending on the transport method and trail chosen, the journey from the city typically takes between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours.
