Uzunbodzhak Reserve, Biosphere reserve in Strandzha, Bulgaria

The Uzunbodzhak Reserve spans 2,529 hectares across southeastern Bulgaria, with elevations ranging from 50 to 300 meters above sea level.

The Bulgarian government established this protected area in December 1956, and UNESCO designated it as a biosphere reserve in March 1977.

The reserve influences the surrounding villages, where residents maintain traditional agricultural practices and gather medicinal plants according to local customs.

The reserve entrance connects to Malko Tarnovo through marked trails, offering opportunities for nature observation and scientific research throughout the year.

The territory contains 651 plant species, including the Strandzhan oak, which occupies 65 percent of the forested sections within the protected zone.
