Soskovcheto, Nature reserve in Rhodope Mountains, Bulgaria.

Soskovcheto is a 177.76-hectare nature reserve in the land of Smolyan, in the Rhodope Mountains of Bulgaria. It protects the virgin character of an old spruce forest, its waterfalls and the climbing vegetation, where bears, roe deer and deer live.

The area became an official protected site in 1968 to safeguard the local plant and animal life of the Rhodopes. This decision reflected wider efforts to defend valuable mountain systems from overuse.

The name Soskovcheto is a diminutive form, and the reserve lies in the land of Smolyan in the Rhodopes. It protects old spruce forest with waterfalls and climbing plants where bears, deer and roe deer live. Visitors walk marked trails from Smolyan and the surrounding area to see the forest and falls.

You can reach the area through marked trails starting from Arnautskoto or from the road between Smolyan and Kriva Reka. Wear proper hiking boots because the paths are steep and can become slippery, especially after rain.

The area is home to around 46 waterfalls, with ten visible from the main path, and they flow most powerfully during early months. This concentration of falls in such a small space sets it apart in the region.
