Sechen Kamak (1,341 m) is a peak on the southern slope of the Central Balkan, about 5.5 km north of the village of Skobelevo (Pavel Banya municipality).
Skobelevo sits right at the foot of the mountain, at about 500 m above sea level. Above the village the slope rises steeply towards the Sinanitsa ridge and the Triglav massif; the Leshnitsa reserve is about 2.6 km from Sechen Kamak, and the Elenova Gora reserve about 3.9 km.
Guides to Skobelevo describe the area as the most interesting, naturally broken part of the village lands, taken up by the split rock of Sechen Kamak. It should not be confused with the Sechen Kamak area and peak in the Tryavna Balkan, above the village of Zhaltesh. We found no waymarked route to the summit itself in the sources.
