About location

Tucked along the wooded shore of Ogosta Reservoir, Boychinovtsi is a place whose character is shaped by the broad impoundment of the Ogosta River in northwestern Bulgaria. The reservoir lies amid low, rolling terrain, where belts of decididuous woodland frame the water rather than high mountain relief. Created by the Ogosta Dam, completed in 1986, it forms part of the region’s modern water-management infrastructure. Its long shoreline gives this corner of Montana Province a distinct lakeside identity, while the town of Montana lies to the southwest and the Balkan Mountains begin farther south. Boychinovtsi is a small municipal centre in a predominantly rural area near Bulgaria’s border with Serbia.

Bulgaria
Country Bulgaria

Bulgaria occupies the eastern Balkan Peninsula in southeastern Europe. The Danube marks much of its northern border, while the Black Sea shapes a long eastern coastline of ports, beach resorts and historic towns. Inland, the Rila Mountains rise to Musala, at 2,925 metres the highest peak in Bulgaria and on the Balkan Peninsula. Sofia is anchored by the monumental Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, and Plovdiv preserves a remarkably well-preserved Roman theatre above its old town. Across the country, Orthodox traditions, rose-oil production in the Rose Valley and a cuisine shaped by Balkan, Ottoman and Slavic influences give travel a distinctly local character.
