Lake Smolyan, Smolyan, Bulgaria

What to expect

The Smolyan Lakes are a group of lakes located in the Rhodope Mountains, near the town of Smolyan in southern Bulgaria. There are eight lakes, seven of which are natural, and one has been converted into a micro-dam. The lakes are a popular destination for nature lovers, offering opportunities for camping, fishing, and hiking. The three highest lakes are part of the Three Smolyan Lakes Eco-Trail, which takes visitors through a beautiful forest with stunning views of the lakes. The area is also home to several legends and traditions, including a story about a shepherd who lost his flock in one of the lakes. Visitors can enjoy the peaceful and mystical atmosphere of the lakes, as well as the surrounding forest, which features unique rock formations and ancient trees
