Osogovo Mountain ІІ

The Osogovo Mountain has a cool mountain transitional-continental climate with severe winters. The mountain is a hydrographic knot, from where many right tributaries of the Struma river start their way – the Bistritsa (the Sovolyanska Bistritsa), the Glogoshka, the Novoselska, the Grashnitsa, and the Eleshnitsa rivers. It has a high riverine flow with a rate of 20 l/s/km2. There is a dense network of crevice waters in the granite rocks, which drain in the river valleys as well as a large number of small springs with a flow rate of 0,1 – 1,5 l/s/km2. There are avalanche-prone zones. The soils are predominantly brown forest soils, forest meadow soils, deluvial soils and deluvial-meadow soils. Coniferous (Scots Pine and European Black Pine), beech and oak forests. The ridge areas are covered with vast pastures and shrubs. The fauna is represented by the rock partridge, the gray partridge, the quail, the adder, the European common frog; there are trouts, barbels, nases, carps in the rivers.

Off-road

If expedition or high-speed off-road is your hobby or passion, the Osogovo mountain offers routes, suiting every aspect of driving off the asphalt road. Whether with a jeep, an ATV or an enduro, the ride on the set routes will give you the most of cross-country and heavy-terrain driving. You will be able to practice with a high-lift, a block and tackle, and a winch, skills which will come in handy when that is truly necessary.

Be prepared before you go! Protect nature – we have borrowed it from our children!
