Breve descripción de la práctica óptima

A total of 19.45 ha of forest areas affected by the mass dissemination of spruce woodworms (calamity) were restored on the territory of the National Vitosha Park within the framework of the Project. In parallel with the afforestations made, care (growing and filling up) was taken of the created new forests by Initiative Group
(IG) Vitosha. Sowing material was yieled aimed at the provision of planting material from valuable local geno-types for the restoration of the forest eco-systems in the park, from which 38 000 two-year saplings were already grown up. The needed care measures (clearing, digging up, lighting, filling up and so on) were undertaken fpr each of the afforested areas for two years. This guaranteed the optimal development of the young forest and the sustainability of the plantations in the future. Growing related measures were undertaken for the overall duration of the Project in more than 40 ha on the territory of National Vitosha Park. |

Breve descripción del entorno natural en el lugar especificado

Vitosha is unique! For it is written, many with admiration and respect! However, visiting her, every time we find something new and unknown. The longest cave in Bulgaria, the vast plant diversity, unique stone rivers, abundance of water proximity to the capital explain the interest in it. Fully law-here is the first manifestation of organized tourism in the country, prompted by patriotic Aleko Konstantinov. Today the mountain enjoys the largest flow of tourists in our country.|
In the past, are listed dominated deciduous forests, which have climbed more than today, and birch was the most - greater participation. Beech and coniferous forests were not yet available. The next historical stage are formed with vertical forest belts gorskodarvesen composition similar to today. Following intensive human activity, Vitosha has changed considerably more than our other mountains.
Mountain is located in the center of southwestern Bulgaria between the Balkan and Rila-Rhodopes. It is the only mountain bowl at home, and the ridge is formed by the highest and located close to each other peaks - Black Peak and Reznyovete. Typical of it are stone rivers formed by the weathering of rocks and slowly move towards the valleys due to gravity of the flowing water.|
