Levski Peak, Mountain summit in Plovdiv Province, Bulgaria

Levski Peak, also called Ambaritsa, is a 2,166-metre double summit with a grassy ridge in the Troyanska section of the Central Balkan Mountains, on the border of Plovdiv and Lovech provinces. It lies west of Golyam Kupen Peak and forms the watershed between northern and southern Bulgaria. Two small streams on its western side join to form the source of the Cherni Osam River.

The peak takes its name from Vassil Levski, a 19th-century Bulgarian revolutionary who led resistance against Ottoman occupation. The naming reflects how mountain regions became connected to the broader struggle for independence.

The peak holds a place in local mountain life, where herders follow seasonal grazing patterns and hikers gather at the shelters scattered across the slopes. These spaces remain central to how mountain communities live with the landscape.

The peak is climbed easily from Dobrila Hut in about one hour and from Ambaritsa Refuge, on the northern slopes, in about two hours. The marked alpine traverse from Dobrila Hut to Botev Peak crosses the summit. Winter conditions are severe: in December 1994, twelve tourists from Kardzhali died near the peak after ignoring heavy winter weather.

The peak is a double summit with a gently sloping, grassy ridge. Two small streams flow down its western side, merge, and are called Chatal Chuchur — the source of the Cherni Osam river.
