Slavyanka Mountain, south of Pirin Mountain is the place where Alibotoush preserve is situated. The region is located between Bulgaria and Greece. The mountain is hardly accessible and since it is a border area, it features virginal nature.

The preserve features more than 1200 types of insects and many animal species. Some of the interesting animals that can be explored there include fox, deer, rabbit and some rare reptiles.
