Tips

Anglers come for carp, grass carp, crucian carp, perch, rudd, bleak and chub, and a villa zone with cottages lines the northern shore. Gorna Dikanya, 2 km from Dolna Dikanya at the foot of the Verila, has a partly preserved late-Antique fortress and holds several village fairs a year, among them a Hunters’ Fair. Radomir is about 20 km away and Pernik about 25 km.
