Zagorka, lake in Bulgaria
Zagorka is a large reservoir in Bulgaria known for its wide, calm water surface spanning a substantial area. The lake is surrounded by trees and open spaces, creating a natural landscape where water and green areas blend together.
The reservoir was created in the mid-1900s to support water supply and irrigation for surrounding areas. It has been part of the local landscape for several decades and remains important for the region's water management.
The area around the lake is easily accessible with paths for walking and cycling along the shores. The space is open and not heavily developed, making it suitable for families and groups wanting outdoor activities without special preparation.
The lake is a popular fishing spot stocked annually to maintain fish populations, and it is home to over 100 wild ducks and other water birds that attract visitors. It also features a 670-year-old plane tree nearby, one of the oldest trees in the region.
