Picturesque and romantic, authentic and mythical - these words describe the region of Gotse Delchev. Here past and future blend together in a fascinating mixture of cultures, traditions, and modern life…

The very location of Gotse Delchev, Garmen, Satovcha and Hadzhidimovo Municipalities is unique. Here the mountains of Pirin, Rhodoppi, Slavyanka and Stargach meet - a small stretch of land with a magnificent landscape.

This area is one of the richest in waters and forests in all of Bulgaria. The northeast slopes of Pirin hide numerous cirque lakes, which flow into the tributaries of Mesta River. Especially beautiful are the Breznishki, Kornishki and Kamenishki Lakes. Mineral waters abound at the feet of mountains. The unique natural gifts complement the trans-Mediterranean climate: southern sun in three seasons and a snow-white winter, an abundance of fruit and vegetables, delicious cuisine and aromatic wines..
