The town is located in a mountainous area at an average altitude of about 850 m. It is surrounded by three mountains - Rila, the Rhodopes and Pirin which makes it a wonderful place for eco tourism, rural tourism, ski and recreation in winter as well as in summer.

The town is a starting point for tourism, excursions and there is a chairlift near the huts of Gotse Delchev and Bezbog. The beautiful sites in the area are numerous - springs, lakes, waterfalls.

history

Dobrinishte's history dates back many years ago. The foundations of houses, tools and ceramics dating back to the Stone Age were found during excavations.

With its mineral waters and geography, Dobrinishte has created conditions for human existence many years before Thracians came in the region. In the settlement and its surroundings diverse Thracian and Roman pottery was found. In the area of Domatarsko the ruins of a Thracian settlement are still visible and in the area of Gumnishta, where an ancient settlement used to exist, coins from the reign of the Roman Emperor Nero were found /I century AD/.

Near the river that passes through Dobrinishte you can find mineral springs and some old pools nearby. In two of them the construction in the foundation is Roman and the rest - Turkish.

In the VII century local Thracian population gradually mixed with the invading at that time Slavic tribes "smolyan" who settled along the Mesta River and mainly in Razlog permanently. Not long after that the proto-Bulgarians were added to that group to lay the foundations of the Bulgarian nationality.

As a result of the atrocities during the early years of the Ottoman rule, Dobrinishte's population left their homes and sought asylom in the Pirin Mountains, settling in the old Thracian settlements. The village remained with an insignificant part of the Bulgarians in the area of "St. Mary" church, farther from the bath and the mineral springs. So Dobrinishte disappeared and its name was not mentioned anywhere more than one hundred years. Only at the end of XV century, during the reign of Sultan Bayezid II (1481 - 1512), Dobrinishte's name occured in a Turkish document as a village part of the area of Nevrokop.

During the Renaissance period the Bulgarian population in Dobrinishte begun to gradually grow again. Those living in the mountain areas began to return to the village. In the late XVIII and early XIX century Dobrinishte grew economically and developed successful trade with countries such as Serbia, Austria, France, Spain, etc.
