Central Balkan National Park
Central Balkan National Park, National park in Stara Planina Mountains, Bulgaria
The Central Balkan National Park spans 716 square kilometers across the Stara Planina range, featuring dense beech forests, waterfalls, and mountain peaks reaching 2376 meters.
The protected area contains archaeological evidence of ancient settlements, with stone tools and ceramic remnants from Thracian, Greek, Macedonian, and Celtic civilizations.
Local communities maintain traditional practices of gathering wild herbs, producing mountain cheese in dairy farms, and sustainably harvesting timber from designated areas.
The park administration operates from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM on weekdays, with emergency contact available at +359885696081 outside regular hours.
Nine nature reserves within the park protect 1900 plant species, including 30 endemic Bulgarian varieties and 70 percent of Bulgaria's invertebrate species.
