Highlights
  • Lodge ‘Uzana’ - The Uzana area in the Gabrovo Balkan offers a wonderful variety for those who are looking for the closeness of nature without having to embark on the extreme experiences.
    Here, on the ridge of Stara Planina, is the geographic center of Bulgaria and the area is called “the green heart of the Balkan”. Expect beech woods, the big meadow of Uzaen, the scent of grasses, herbs and wild strawberries…Time seems to have stopped and this feeling complements the charm of the mountain landscape. The shapes of relief are soft and the massif Triglav (the second highest after Botev peak) seems deceitfully close - illusion or reality …?
    The more ambitious will be able to conquer Peak Ispalin (1523 m). It is a cure for climbing but extremely panoramic and with charming views.
    Good physical form is a prerequisite for successful participation without the need for prior skills. It is highly recommended to wear closed shoes with a thick sole.

Additional Information

The Uzana region in Gabrovo Balkan presents a delightful array for those desiring the intimacy of nature without the need for extreme escapades. Situated on the Stara Planina ridge, it’s the geographical heart of Bulgaria and referred to as ‘the green core of the Balkan’. With beech forests, Uzana’s expansive meadow, the fragrance of grass, herbs, and wild strawberries, time appears to stand still enhancing the allure of the mountainous terrain. The landscape is softly contoured, and mount Triglav, the second highest peak after Botev, appears deceptively nearby – a mirage or fact…? Those with a daring spirit can undertake the challenge of scaling Peak Ispalin (1523 m) – a steep climb but incredibly panoramic with captivating vistas.
