Kamchia River
The mouth of the Kamchia river is one of the most beautiful sights along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. The River is situated 34 km south of Varna.
The merging of two small rivers, springing from the eastern Balkan Range - Luda Kamchia and Golyama Kamchia, forms the Kamchia River. It empties approximately 9000 liters of water every second into the Black Sea. During the spring, that amount can be as much as 30 000 liters per second. Running down through the Balkan Range Kamchia River curves through unique and picturesque woodland called Longoza. Once Kamchia River was called Panisos and the Slavs named it Ticha. Its contemporary name is of Kouman origin. The Romans built a stronghold called Erite on its left bank. Nowadays the frequently flooded area is a reserve named after the Kamchia River. The reserve is under the UNESCO protection. It is 40 km in lenght and 5 km in width in some of its parts. There are deer, sea hawks and eagles, wild boars, wild cats etc.
