The Bulgarka Natural Park is a Bulgarian nature park located on the northern slopes of the Balkan Mountains (Stara Planina), occupying 22,000 hectares of territory in the central and Eastern part of the mountains between the cities of Gabrovo and Kazanluk. Located between the steep topography of the Central Balkan and the significantly lower and sloping Eastern part of Stara Planina, the region is characterized by significant diversity in terrain. This also supports a rich diversity in flora and fauna. Further, due to the area's position in a section of the Balkans that served as a crossroads for the region for centuries, the park is also home to many historical sites. The area's historical and biological significance lead to the establishment of the Bulgarka Natural Park on August 9, 2002.
