Kamtchia

The reserve spans 842 hectares along the Black Sea coast, featuring floodplain forests, meadows, channels, swamps, and marshlands near the Kamchia River estuary.

The Bulgarian government established this protected area in 1951 to preserve the remnants of floodplain forests that previously covered extensive geographical regions.

The reserve maintains traditional ecological practices through regulated resource management, supporting local communities while protecting natural heritage at the Black Sea coast.

Located 25 kilometers south of Varna, visitors can access the reserve through guided boat trips that navigate upstream along the Kamchia River.

The reserve contains Kolkhida forests that experience periodic flooding, creating micro-territories where aquatic vegetation grows similar to those found in Georgia.
