The Region

Where the Rhodopes meet the lakes

Dream Lake sits in one of Bulgaria's most unspoilt landscapes: the Middle Rhodopes, above the town of Smolyan, beside the Smolyan Lakes and at the foot of Snezhanka peak.

Bulgaria

A member of the European Union since 2007, of the Schengen Area since 2025 and of the euro area since 1 January 2026. Bulgaria combines four true seasons, Black Sea beaches and ski resorts with one of the lowest tax burdens in the EU – a flat 10% tax on personal income and on corporate profit.

Spruce forest in the Rhodopes

The Rhodope Mountains

The largest mountain range in Bulgaria and the legendary homeland of Orpheus. Gentle ridges covered in spruce, pine and beech forests, deep gorges, caves and traditional villages – with a mild climate shaped by the nearby Aegean Sea. The highest summit, Golyam Perelik, rises to 2,191 m.

Smolyan region

Smolyan, the regional centre, stretches along the Cherna river valley at 850–1,050 m and is home to the largest planetarium in Bulgaria. Pamporovo, one of the country's leading ski resorts (37 km of pistes below Snezhanka peak, 1,926 m), is about 15 km away; Plovdiv is about 100 km and Sofia about 260 km.

The Smolyan Lakes

Once twenty, today seven natural lakes lie in the valley of the Cherna river, below the Orpheus rocks and Snezhanka peak – surrounded by meadows, forest eco-trails and viewpoints. A place for walking, cycling, fishing and simply breathing, in every season.

Air you can feel

Fresh mountain air, rich in negative ions

The lakes lie in the 1,200–1,600 m belt that Bulgarian scientists describe as especially favourable for people. Mountain breezes, forests and open water keep the air clean and rich in negative (light) air ions – physicists cite 600 to 6,000 negative ions per cm³ as the most beneficial range, with the highest values in the mornings and evenings. It is why the Smolyan Lakes have long been known as a place to rest, recover and recharge, and why they are counted among the best places on the Balkans for fresh air.

Pamporovo · about 15 km away

The sunniest ski resort in Bulgaria

Freshly groomed piste below Snezhanka TV tower, Pamporovo

Just over the ridge from Dream Lake, Pamporovo is known as Bulgaria's sunniest ski resort: around 120 sunny days in a season that usually runs from mid-December to mid-April. Its southern position, open to the warm Aegean air, brings bright blue skies over deep, reliable snow.

Some 37 km of groomed pistes run from Snezhanka peak (1,926 m) and its landmark TV tower, with its observation deck, down through snow-covered spruce forest to about 1,450 m. Gentle, rounded slopes make it one of the best places in Europe to learn to ski. Experts head for the Giant Slalom run and the steep “Wall”. Ski schools, rental shops, night skiing and a snow park complete the offer.
