He never fails to look at himself in them – in spring, in autumn, in summer.


In every season!

How to get to Dushantsi Dam?

The most convenient way to get to the Dushantsi Dam is by car along the Sub-Balkan Road* Sofia – Karlovo – Burgas.


*The Republican Road I-6, also known as the Sub-Balkan Road, is a first-class road in the Republican Road Network of Bulgaria with a west-east direction, passing through the territory of nine districts: Kyustendil, Pernik, Sofia Region, Sofia, Plovdiv, Starozagorsk, Sliven, Yambol and Burgas.


Its total length is 508.5 km, making it the longest republican road in Bulgaria.


If you are traveling from Sofia, take the right turn, immediately after the town of Pirdop.



From Karlovo, take the turnoff for the village of Anton, continuing straight until you reach the village of Dushantsi. Once in the village, continue straight along the main street until you reach the beautiful parking lot in front of the dam wall.
