The White River, located about 6 km southeast of neighboring village Chernichevo, is the first river in the Eastern Rhodopes to be included in the ecological network "NATURA 2000." It is known for its distinctive winding course, which creates various shapes called "The meanders of the White River."
Another significant site is the Rock Tomb-Sanctuary near neighboring Rogach, situated 28 km northwest of Blagun. This site is considered sacred by the local people and is also known as Guyo or Kuyo. It is positioned on a rock on the right bank of the Krumovitsa River and features two small, deep indentations on the rock that resemble human footprints.
