Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Priroden Park Zlatni Pyasatsi, established in 1943, is one of Bulgaria's oldest nature parks, sprawling over an area of lush woodlands and scenic landscapes just 17 kilometers north of Varna. The park is characterized by its rolling hills and dense deciduous forests, which provide a habitat for a wide array of wildlife, including deer, wild boars, and myriad bird species. The park's rich biodiversity and proximity to the Black Sea make it a prime location for both ecotourism and scientific research. Visitors can explore numerous trails that wind through the park, offering opportunities for hiking, bird watching, and enjoying the tranquil natural environment. The park is also home to several historic monasteries and rock-hewn chapels, adding cultural and historical depth to its natural beauty. Given its ecological importance, the park is a protected area where conservation efforts are in place to maintain its natural integrity.
