Dospat Reservoir
Язовир Доспат
A large high-mountain reservoir at about 1,200 m, with winding shores ringed by pine forest, ideal for camping, fishing and watching the sunset.
Dospat Reservoir is one of the highest large reservoirs in Bulgaria. It covers about 22 square kilometers, and its winding shoreline is surrounded by Rhodope pine forest and grassy slopes. The town of Dospat and other lakeside areas have campsites and holiday houses. In summer you can fish for trout, go boating or swim, and the sunsets over the water are especially lovely in the evening. It is about 50 minutes' drive west of Trigrad via Borino, and it can serve as a stop on a self-drive loop through the western Rhodopes. There is no single entrance fee for the lake area; camping fees are paid at each campsite.
