Landmarks

Situated approximately 5 kilometers southeast of the village, the Kardzhali Dam can be found. The dam is home to a range of fish such as carp, catfish, tolostolob, zander, perch, and common rudd.

In addition, about 27 kilometers from Avramovo, the Krivus Fortress can be located. Constructed in the 10th century, this fortress was strategically built to guard the Arda River area in the Eastern Rhodopes. Key features include well-preserved fortification walls, some reaching up to 5 meters in height, along with towers, the fortress entrance, and the remains of an ancient church situated at the fortress’s center.

Not far from the Krivus Fortress, on a rocky peninsula along the left bank of the Borovica River, lies the Fortress of Patmos, also dating from the 10th century. The fortress’s western wall remains the best preserved. Archaeological investigations have uncovered remains of a basilica and a tower within the fortress grounds.
