DEVIN AND THE WATER

the pearl of the Rhodopes Mountain

Bulgaria is one of the top destinations in Europe, mainly because of the healing qualities of the mineral waters and mud deposits, which have no equivalent in Europe.

There are between 700 and 1000 mineral springs and numerous SPA resorts where the procedures and the climate have a healing effect on your body.
We present to you the magic of mineral water in Devin City – the pearl of the Rhodopes Mountain.

Favorable climate, pristine nature, natural phenomena, diverse vegetation – over 1,800 plant species, a rich variety of animal species – over 260 bird species, 73 of them included in the Red Book of Bulgaria – these are the main characteristics of the Rhodopes that make it unique.

The Rhodopes are home to some of the most beautiful and picturesque places in Bulgaria. Lush meadows in incredible shades of green alternate with dark coniferous forests, steep canaries and picturesque canyons. If there is a destination worth visiting in any season of the year, it is certainly the Rhodope Mountains.

On the territory of the Rhodopes there are large resorts – Velingrad, Yundola, Narechenski Bani, Pamporovo, Smolyan, Batak, Tsigov Chark, visited for their mineral waters, ski slopes or pristine nature.

Traveling along the picturesque course of the Vacha River and one of the biggest dams in our country – Vacha, we reach the Devinska Planina – a mountain hill in the Western Rhodopes.

city of Devin - the pearl of the Rhodopes

In the foothills of the Rhodopes, in the middle of a small hilly valley, on both banks of the Devin River, is the town of Devin. A small town with clean mountain air, where you can touch the peace and beauty of the Rhodopes.

Its microclimate is one of the healthiest – rocky and green hills protect the city from cold and strong winds. Winters are extremely mild and summers are cool. The area is free of industrial pollution.

The combination of the healing qualities of the climate and the mineral waters and the pristine nature make Devin one of the largest balneoclimatic resorts in Bulgaria since the last century.
