Ropotamo, Nature reserve in Strandzha, Bulgaria.
The Ropotamo Reserve extends over 1000 hectares along both banks of the Ropotamo River, featuring dense forests, sand dunes, and wetland areas near the Black Sea.
The territory gained protected status in 1940, expanding into a full nature reserve in 1992 to safeguard its ecological systems and native species.
The reserve contains numerous rock formations, including the Lion Head and Snake Island, which hold significance in local Bulgarian nature conservation efforts.
Visitors can access marked paths with information boards, take guided boat tours on the river, and observe wildlife from designated observation points.
The reserve houses 260 bird species, 50 fish species, and forms part of the Via Pontica migration route used by thousands of birds annually.
