Dragoychev Kamak is a protected site in the lands of the town of Troyan, about 2.5 km from the centre. It was declared a historic site in 1964 and reclassified as a protected site in 2003. It covers 0.8 ha.
The protected site was declared to preserve a characteristic landscape. The forest is mixed beech and hornbeam, about 80 years old. Here are the place where the partisan Toncho Staevski died and his monument, which is why the site was first declared historic.
Visiting is free. It is forbidden to fell trees except for sanitary and landscape felling, to graze livestock, to open quarries and to dump waste.
The site is about 2.5 km from the centre of Troyan. The "In the Footsteps of Levski" hiking routes pass nearby.
