Bulgaria’s biggest karst spring pumps out 1200 liters of cold mineral water each second. Its name is Kleptouza and the spring is situated in the town of Velingrad.
Much of the spring’s water is used as tap water in Velingrad. The rest enters two lakes that empty into Maritsa and Chepinksa rivers.
The first lake was constructed in 1933 using municipal funding. Pine forests in the surrounding region have become a favorite walk and leisure time place. A restaurant was set up, as well.
Since April 2008, the park and the lakes became state property and have ever since been placed under the management of Velingrad municipality.
An eco path starts near Kleptouza lake. To learn more about Velingrad, click here.
