Borovsko Gradishte (1,280 m) is a peak in the Western Rhodopes, about 4 km north-east of Laki and 3 km north-west of the village of Borovo; some lists give its height as 1,281 m.
The peak lies between Laki, Borovo and Yugovo; the Red Wall Reserve is about 4.5 km away. The Dobrostanski Biser cave and the "Nature and Heritage" Visitor House are about 3.5 km away.
In the Rhodopes the name "gradishte" often marks the site of an old fortification or settlement, but we found no archaeological record for this peak, so we do not claim a fortress stood here. Beyond its name, height and position, the available sources give no details about the peak, and we found no waymarked route to it.
Borovsko Gradishte is located in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

Hiking boots, layered clothing, water (1.5–2 L per person), sun protection, and a windproof jacket — mountain weather changes quickly. For longer routes also bring a map (paper or offline), a head torch, and emergency rations. Tell someone your planned route and expected return time.
