Berovo Lake

Directions

Беровско Езеро · Berovsko Ezero

Berovo Lake is a long, thin reservoir in the Maleševo mountains, about 7 km from Berovo and close to the Bulgarian border, in one of the cleanest and most peaceful corners of the country. People from the town come here to swim, fish and sail.

Nature

Dense evergreen and deciduous forests surround the lake, protected from felling, and they make for good, easy walks. In season, local people sell honey and mushrooms.

Tips

A single asphalt road leads to the lake from Berovo, passing the women’s monastery of St Archangel Michael on the way. Services are limited: a small number of hotels, villas and restaurants are scattered along the shore, and there is a settlement of weekend houses. Late spring to early autumn is the season.

Go early in the morning for a calm surface. Fishing, picnics and lakeside walks are the main things to do.
