Rhodope Mountains spread out along the border with Greece, in the south-west of Bulgaria. The Mountains offer superb opportunities for winter sports, camping, fishing, water sports and recreation, as well as hiking. There are Alpine and race ski-runs equipped with ski lifts. Tsigov Chark Resort, offering great accommodation and entertainment, is situated here. Visitors of the resort can taste delicious traditional local meals and specialties at Ostrova tavern, but the best culinary surprises are offered at Yoana tavern and Porto Rico restaurant.

The 4 Dam Lakes is another magnificent site for recreation, sports and tourism: Golyam Beglik Dam (the biggest), Shiroka Polyana Dam (the most beautiful), Beglika Dam (the smallest) and Toshkov Chark Dam. They are located amongst the ravishing Rhodope countryside. There are a lot of established recreation bases, country houses, fisheries, camping sites and hotels. The conditions for hiking and water tourism, fishing, herbs and forest fruit harvesting or just recreation among the magical scenery here are more than wonderful.
