Golyam Bogdan

The Golyam Bogdan peak rises to an elevation of 1,604 meters, making it the highest point of the Sredna Gora mountain range in Bulgaria.

The mountain received its name from Bogdan Voyvoda, a Bulgarian resistance fighter who led local uprisings against foreign occupation in the region.

The surrounding villages maintain traditional Bulgarian mountain customs, including seasonal festivals celebrating the connection between people and nature through rituals.

Multiple marked hiking trails lead to the summit from different directions, with the southern route passing through centuries-old beech forests.

Two rivers, Pyasachnik and Kriva Reka, originate from the mountain's slopes, while rare Eastern Imperial Eagles nest in the protected wildlife sanctuary.
