The dam of Ognyanovo is located in the Eastern Sofia Plain, only 40 km awayfrom the capital of Bulgaria. It is one of the country’s most beautiful places – full of biodiversity,especially as regards avifauna species. An important factor which makes the dam a special object ofscientific and tourist interest is its location on one of the main bird migration routes: the ViaAristotelis.For three consecutive years, the area’s fauna potential has been studied andsignificant biodiversity has been identified.This study aims to explore the opportunities for ecotourism development there.
