Soskovcheto, Nature reserve in Rhodope Mountains, Bulgaria.
The reserve extends across 175 hectares of mountainous terrain, featuring numerous waterfalls, steep hiking paths, and dense forest vegetation along the Soskovchansky river.
The Bulgarian government established Soskovcheto as a protected area in March 1968 to safeguard the local ecosystem and endangered species in the Rhodope Mountains.
Local communities near Soskovcheto maintain traditional practices of sustainable resource management while supporting nature conservation efforts in the Rhodope Mountains region.
Visitors can access the reserve through a marked trail starting from Arnautskoto area, following the road between Smolyan and Mugla village near Kriva Reka.
The reserve contains 46 waterfalls, with ten visible along the main trail, reaching their maximum water flow during spring snowmelt periods.
