Golemiya Kazan (Bulgarian: Големия казан) is part of a country below Vihren called Kazanite in the Bulgaria's Pirin mountain. It is composed of two cirques, Malkiya Kazan (The Small Cauldron) which is the lower one (2,200 m) and is grassgrown; and Golemiya Kazan (The Big Cauldron) situated at 2,400 m and stony bottom. The size of the Big Cauldron is 1,200x1,100 m. They were called like this because there is often fog rising from the cirques. Due to the karst in the region there no lakes or streams in the Cauldrons. A 300 m high face of Vihren begins from the Big Cauldron and at its foot a small glacier is located, whose size is 40x90 m. Often chamois which are abundant in the area can be seen on it.
