Balgarka Nature Park encompasses the northern slopes and hills of the Shipka and Tryavna mountains. It extends at an area of 22 000 hectares. One of the good prerequisites for development of different types of tourism is the well-developed infrastructure, part of which connects Northern and Southern Bulgaria through the territory of the Balgarka Nature Park. The towns Tryavna, Plachkovtsi and Gabrovo are the baseline points to the mountain.
