I hardly managed to capture the beauty that fascinated many, in this beautiful Pirin region, but come and take a magical walk with me along the unique sandy alleys of St. Vrach and share the magic and charming hug of May.
The river Bistritsa, which is mostly known as Sandanska Bistritsa (its old name was Svetivrachka Bistritsa) is the river near which this phenomenal park was built.
Sandanska Bistritsa is a left tributary of the Struma River. Its length is 33 kilometers. Drains parts of the southwestern slopes of Pirin.
Sandanska Bistritsa flows from the southeastern corner of Tevnoto Lake (2512 m above sea level), located in the Belemeto Circus in the Northern Pirin.
Near the town of Sandanski it emerges from the mountain and enters the Petrich-Sandanski valley, forming a large alluvial cone. It flows into the Struma River on the left.
Sandanska Bistritsa brings the coolness of the mountain with it and on hot and hot days it is always cool, fresh, noisy and wet.
A walk along the river is a great idea!
And accompanied by good company and in the embrace of the park - this is a healthy walk for body and soul!
The unique and one-of-a-kind sandy alleys of St. Vrach park add incomparable charm to your vacation!
