Gotsev Vrah

Gotsev Vrah reaches an elevation of 2,212 meters, featuring a dome-shaped massif with steep ridges and numerous karst formations across its terrain.

The mountain, formerly known as Alibotush, marks the border between Bulgaria and Greece, connecting to the Pirin mountain range through the Paril Saddle.

The area contains the Ali Botush Reserve, protecting the largest concentration of Bosnian Pine forests in the Balkans, with trees over 400 years old.

The summit offers hiking trails through dense vegetation and limited road access, requiring proper preparation and navigation skills for successful ascent.

Scientists have documented 1,700 vascular plant species in the area, including 20 endemic Bulgarian plants and five species found nowhere else in the world.
