Forget the daily grind and immerse yourself in the wild beauty of "Kozya Stena" Reserve – the pearl of the Central Balkan in the Lovech region. This unique natural corner, declared a reserve in 1987, is a paradise for hiking enthusiasts and nature lovers. Situated within the Troyan municipality, it encompasses majestic karst formations, sheer cliffs, and dense beech forests, which hide one of the most valuable treasures of Bulgarian flora – the edelweiss. "Kozya Stena" is one of the few places in Bulgaria where you can admire this rare and protected flower in its natural habitat. The main tourist route crossing the reserve is part of the European E3 (Kom-Emine) trail. The path is well-marked but in places requires good physical preparation and attention, especially on the steep and exposed sections that offer breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and valleys. Here you will encounter ancient trees, hear the songs of rare birds, and perhaps catch a glimpse of a wild goat – a symbol of these inaccessible slopes. "Kozya Stena" is not just a destination but an experience. Every step reveals a new landscape, a new vista, a new sense of connection with nature. It is ideal for day hikes or as part of a longer trek through the Balkan Mountains. Don't forget to bring appropriate gear and to savor the clean mountain air and majestic landscapes that make "Kozya Stena" Reserve an unforgettable place.
