Location

The village of Stoykite lies in the center of the southern half of Bulgaria, in the very heart of the Rhodopei Mountains, 15 km away from the county town of Smolyan and only 7 km away from the winter resort of Pamporovo. It is surrounded by varied landscape. The huge elevation of Mount Perelik goes to the southwest through the Eshei Kulak pass and Mount Cherni Vrah to the Mount Snezhanka. At the northeast stands the continuation of the Chernatitsa Mountain - Kara Tepe and Mechi Chal - that delimitates the basins of the rivers Vacha and Asenitsa. The average altitude is 1410 m. Therefore, the summer in Stoikite is cool and the winter is soft.

Stoykite is 250 km away from the capital Sofia and 90 km away from the second largest city in Bulgaria - Plovdiv, which has its airport for charter flights.

Sports and tourism

The climate is perfect for summer as well as for winter recreation with 4 months of snow cover and 240 sunny days per year. The 1-, 2- and 3-star hotels and guest houses that can accommodate more than 800 people and the various restaurants can meet the requirements of different types of tourists.

Beginning skiers can take the easier run, which is in the middle of the village and is equipped with a ski-tow. The other run is near Mount Cherni Vrah, in the area called Enicharsko, and it is also equipped with a ski tow and offers ski rental.

Rhodope is a mountain where hospitality has no seasons. In the summer it offers countless fascinating possibilities for active recreation and tourism. One can touch the secrets that the mountain jealously keeps by visiting some of the historic monuments: the ancient fortress of Sveti Vrach or the Thracian necropolis near Sveta Elena. If you like nature you can take one of the ecologic or tourist walks in the area of Stoykite, Grashtitsa, Solishta, Stikal, Shiroka Laka and Gela, as well as the nearby mounts Goliam Perelik, Snezhanka and Mechi Chal, which offer extraordinary views.

Those who seek for extreme sensations can go climbing, riding, biking and diving into wild caverns with the help of professional guides and wearing the appropriate equipment that you can hire there.

However, one can not feel the spirit of the mountain without visiting one of the old mountain settlements: the architectural reserve of Shiroka Laka and Cheshitskata Mahala (Rum's Borough) in Smolyan.

The Trigrad Gorge

The Gorge of Trigrad is impressive by its dimensions as well as by its shape. The road from Devin to the village of Trigrad runs alongside the picturesque canyon. Remains and drawings of prehistoric men have been found in the caverns around it. Here is the cave called Dyavolsko Garlo (Devil's Throat) and a little bit to the west on the Trigrad Plateau is the Yagodinska Cave. There are many unknown and unexplored smaller caves around.
The entrance to the Dyavolsko Garlo is at the edge of the gorge on the side of Trigrad, below the road. The cave is supplied with electricity and adapted to be visited by tourists. One can see many beautiful cave formations. The Trigradska River crosses the cave and forms a waterfall and a small lake within it.
