About

Tucked away in the majestic Rila mountain range of Bulgaria lies a forgotten gem of the past—a sanatorium that once stood as a beacon of leisure and relaxation. Constructed amidst the tranquil beauty of the mountains in the 1930s, this retreat was a cherished destination for the residents of western Bulgaria seeking respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Perched at 1,050 meters above sea level, the sanatorium boasted a wealth of amenities to cater to its esteemed guests. From a grand ballroom to a thrilling casino, from a serene library to its very own bakery, every corner of the resort was designed to provide a haven of comfort and enjoyment.

Officially inaugurated in 1934, the rest station quickly gained renown for its stunning location and luxurious offerings. Yet, as time passed, the fortunes of this once-vibrant establishment began to wane. Today, the sanatorium stands in a state of heartbreaking decay, a mere shadow of its former glory.

Roofs have collapsed, rooms have been reduced to rubble, and the haunting specter of ruin now permeates the property, contrasting sharply with the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding mountain landscape. Despite its dilapidated state, the remnants of this forgotten sanctuary serve as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, silently whispering tales of opulence and decadence amidst the serene wilderness of the Rila mountains.
