[1] Marishki Chal connects the two main ridges of this part of the mountain range — Musalensko and Ibarsko, and is an important hydrographic node.

It rises south of the summit of Golyam Bliznak (2,779 m), north of Ovcharets (2,768 m) and southwest of Mancho (2,771 m).

[2] In 1885 Eastern Rumelia joined the Principality during the Unification of Bulgaria and in 1912 the Bulgarian victory in the First Balkan War led to the liberation of the whole mountain range.

The summer and winter trails between the highest summit in the Balkans Musala (2,925 m) and the Zavracitsa refuge pass through Marishki Char.

In winter, there is an increased avalanche danger on its slopes and following the azimuth marking is mandatory.
