Landmarks

In the neighboring village of Chernichevo, located 16 km (10 miles) east, The White River is notable for being the first river in the Eastern Rhodopes included in the "Natura 2000" ecological network. The river is famous for its winding course, which creates various shapes known as "The meanders of the White River."

The village of Egrek, situated 8 km (5 miles) southwest, is home to five operational mills, which are recognized as cultural monuments.
