Info panels on the entrance of the Visitor centre of the Nature parkThe idea for building a Visitor Information Center on the property of the Rila Monastery Natural Park has received its final form after the Administration of Rila Monastery Forestry Enterprise moved its offices to the town of Rila giving the Directorate of Rila Monastery Natural Park a piece of land. The building is a solid structure, constructed in year 1956 with a built-up area of 152 square meters.

The major objective was to develop a modern, easily accessible information center in the area of Pchelino (the bee garden) in order to provide space for permanent and thematic exhibitions, interactive exhibits in environmental practices and preservation of biodiversity, informal training programs to learn about nature and gain skills for protecting the environment, about the activities of the Natural Park, as well as internships in ecology. Here you can see our exhibition, learn more about the park's biodiversity, as well as receive comprehensive information from our specialists about our hiking trails.

Only here you will be able to hire and use our electronic guide - Cruso. Developed specifically for walks in nature and is applicable to any kind of tourism.

Based on "The Global Positioning System (GPS)  this device is with integrated digital map and an electronic compass.
In combination with carefully prepared audio and visual information, each tourist or biker will have the opportunity to try something new.
Cruso always shows you where you are and can you explain what you see. Through an intuitive menu navigation and touch screen, the unit is easy to use by all.
