A Secluded Valley Surrounded by Streams

Our valley sits at 1,450 meters high, tucked between Ortsevo, the highest inhabited village in the Balkans, and Chereshovo, a small village rich with tradition. This place is remote, but that’s the point. Surrounded by creeks that flow in from all directions, the valley feels like its own world – peaceful, quiet, and completely immersed in nature.

It’s the kind of place where you wake up to the sound of water trickling nearby and birds singing in the trees. You can spend your days exploring or just taking in the views, and by nightfall, the stars fill the sky like you’ve never seen before. It’s a rare slice of nature that’s waiting to be discovered, and we can’t wait to share it with you.

Why Our Valley is Special

To be honest, it’s hard to describe this place in words. It’s not just the location – though being between Ortsevo and Chereshovo, and surrounded by creeks, is pretty special. It’s more about the feeling you get when you’re here. There’s this sense of calm that’s hard to find anywhere else, and the natural beauty will make you stop and just take it all in.

The air is fresh, the stars are bright, and the water flowing through the valley makes everything feel alive. It’s a place where you can slow down, breathe deep, and enjoy the simplicity of life in the wilderness. If you’re looking for somewhere quiet, remote, and untouched by the chaos of modern life, you’ll feel right at home here.
