Location
The remarkable openness, crystal-clear air, and breathtaking panoramas define the character of OKOL Lake Park’s location.
The complex unfolds in the area of Lake Iskar, on the eastern slopes of the Plana Mountain, at an altitude of 1,000 m. Rising above an expansive plateau, OKOL Lake Park reveals picturesque views of the lake and the peaks of Rila, Plana, and Vitosha.
The region’s microclimate offers cool summers, mild winters, an abundance of sunny days, and an almost complete absence of strong winds. The project’s location was chosen strategically, shaped by both the area’s exceptional natural features and its convenient year-round access from the capital and the resort town of Borovets.
OKOL Lake Park is located in the land of the village of Gorni Okol, about 35 km from Sofia and 25 km from Borovets.

The Wild Nature Around
The plant life here speaks the language of beech, white pine, spruce, black pine, oak, hawthorn, wild pear, juniper, blackberry, and dog rose. The terrain is also marked by vast open spaces, embraced by grassy and shrub vegetation.
The animal world is represented by typical Central European species – roe deer, wild boars, deer, and wolves can be found here. The sky above OKOL Lake Park, in turn, belongs to the woodpecker, the honey buzzard, the stork, the short-toed eagle, the peregrine falcon, and others.
The project’s territory does not fall within any protected areas or protected zones.
