The seven Rila lakes were formed by glacial activity during the last ice age. As the glaciers melt, they leave behind deep depressions filled with water, creating these beautiful lakes. Each lake has a unique shape and size, ranging from 7 acres (the smallest) to 91 acres (the largest). The lakes also vary in depth, with the deepest reaching a depth of 37.7 meters.<\/p>\n
