Kulinoto

Kulinoto is a site in the northern part of Pirin Mountain, in the valley of the “Kulina” river (affluent to Elovica River) and is situated amongst beech forests.

It is popular locally as a place for rest and recreation for the people of Razlog and neighbouring villages.  One ski run, which is served by two drag lifts, was made there with the voluntary labour of the locals in the 1980's.  Two grooming machines are employed for piste maintenance.  The place is some 1220 meters above sea level and the highest point of the run is approx. 1600 metres above sea level.   Since the piste is not very high, the snow only usually lasts until mid March.
