Kutelka - Nature preserve in Bulgaria

avatar
(Edited)


Kutelka Reserve is part of the Nature Park Sinite kamani (Blue Stones) and was established on December 22, 1983. Its total area is 645.1 hectares.


The reserve is a forest massif declared for protection of the existing over a hundred-year-old beech forest composed of the Moesian beech species (Fagus sylvatica ssp. moesiaca).


The purpose of the reserve is to protect not only the plant species included in the Red Book of Bulgaria, but also rock habitats of protected birds of international importance.


In the southern part of the reserve there are bars and tepavitsi, which were established in the 17th century.

Kutelka Peak is 1119 m high and is located south of Bulgarka Peak. It resembles an inverted cauldron where its name comes from.
