A unique shot that splits the view above and below the surface of a clear mountain lake in Pirin. A large Balkan trout swims underwater over a rocky bottom. Jagged granite peaks rise above the water, and three backpackers walk along a trail past a signpost under a blue sky.

Vintage illustration in retro poster style of the area around Bezbog hut in Pirin. A chairlift with a sign "DOBRINISHTE" is visible, a small lake in front of the multi-storey hut and majestic rocky peaks in the background. In the foreground there are dense juniper bushes, birds and blooming edelweiss. The text at the top reads: "BEZBOG LIFT: Gateway to the High Pirin", and signs indicate the times for the hike to Popovo Lake, Bezbog Peak and Tevno Lake.
