Ropotamo Reserve
Ropotamo, 20 km from Sozopol, Bulgaria
Description:
Ropotamo is located 50 kilometers from Burgas and 20 kilometers from Sozopol. In 1940, Ropotamo received the status of a protected area, on the territory of which anyone could enter.
In 1962, Ropotamo was declared a cultural park, and it became one of the favorite tourist destinations. However, due to the influx of visitors, the ecological balance of Ropotamo was disturbed, so in 1992 the park became a protected area with a strict regime.
250 species of rare birds live on the territory of the reserve (71 species were listed in the Red Book).
And there are a hundred species of plants that were gradually listed in the Red Book of the country.
In Ropotamo, you can relax, walk through the park and ride on a pleasure boat, which is called the “Boat for Distribution”. The cost of an hour walk will be about one euro. Tourists will be offered boats to choose from: smaller and larger. There is no schedule for boats - they go on a journey after full filling. Waiting for the “Boat for the Distribution”, you can go to a cafe located near the pier.
