Kamchia River Enters Black Sea

“Kamchia” reserve is situated along the Kamchia River lower valley, in the territories of Avren and Dolni Chiflik municipalities. It is located some 25km south of Varna, near “Kamchia” and “Shkorpilovtsi” resorts.

Due to its environmental protection and ecological importance, in 1977 the area was included in the global network of biosphere reserves as a part of the program “Human and Biosphere” of UNESCO for protection of the most representative ecological systems on the planet. In the reserve there are 245 higher plant species to be found, 258 bird species as well. Several rare birds for Bulgaria and Europe breed in here. This is also one of the Via Pontica stops – a bird migration route.
