Boatin Reserve

 nature conservation park / area, UNESCO World Heritage Site

Mammals typically found in the temperate zone have homes in the Boatin Reserve: brown bears, wolves, foxes, wild cats, martens, weasels, red deer, roe, and wild boar. In the not-so-distant past, lynx resided in the Reserve. In addition, there are 64 species of nesting birds, among them the Urals owls, Tengmaum’s owls, red-breasted and semi-collared flycatchers, southern white-backed and black woodpeckers, and peregrine falcons.
South of the reserve passes the European hiking route E3 (Kom - Emine).
Boatin Reserve was originally designated with Government decree No.7285 from 12.06.1948.
With an area of 1597,2 hectares, it is situated within the village of Divchovoto’s lands, north of Tetevenska Baba Peak, and lies at altitudes between 800 and 1,750 meters above sea level. A small river, the Boatinska, crosses the reserve. It merges further downstream with two other streams, the Sredna and the Momina, to produce the river Cherni Vit.
In 1977, it was declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve under the Man and the Biosphere Program within the Central Balkan Biosphere Reserve.
