Rivers

There are many rivers in Bulgaria so travelers can determine the country as rich of water resources.

THE RIVERS rise mainly in the highest mountains and flow into the Black Sea (via the Danube) and into the Aegean Sea. Bulgaria has 526 rivers longer than 2.3 km. The only navigable river is the Danube, that lies along the North Bulgarian border.

There are good prerequisites for the development of adventure tourism: “wild waters” – rafting and canoe, diving, delta- and para-drifting in the river valleys of Vatcha, Iskar, Chepelarska, Struma, and Mesta rivers.

The natural LAKES are about 330 in number; the largest are the Black Sea lakes (Alepou, Arkoutino, Pomorie, Beloslav, Bourgas, Varna, Shabla lakes), the most numerous (over 260) are the high-mountain glacial lakes in the Rila and Pirin mountains.

DAMS have been built as a part of waterpower systems – Iskar, Arda, Batak Water Power System, Belmeken-Sestrimo, Dospat-Vucha, and a great number of smaller dams.
