Dolna Topchia, Managed Nature Reserve in Sakar Mountain, Bulgaria
Dolna Topchia is a protected nature reserve in the Jambol region within the Sakar Mountain area, featuring extensive forest coverage and diverse natural habitats. The landscape encompasses rolling terrain with mixed vegetation that provides refuge for local wildlife populations.
The reserve was officially established in 1960 through an order issued by the Bulgarian Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. Its creation marked an early effort to protect natural habitats within this mountainous region of Bulgaria.
The reserve maintains specific territories for ring-necked pheasants and provides spaces for researchers to study the local wildlife populations.
The reserve can be explored via marked trails that wind through the forest areas, allowing visitors to experience the natural surroundings firsthand. Staying on designated paths helps protect the delicate habitats and ensures a safe visit.
The reserve holds identification code 18 in Bulgaria's register of protected areas and connects to nearby reserves including Gorna Topchia.
