Dobrostan Plateau

NaturesLens visits Dobrostan Plateau on small-group wildlife photography holidays in Bulgaria, with time here planned around Adonis Blue, Chapman’s Blue, Common Blue, Eastern Festoon and Great Banded Grayling rather than general sightseeing. Current itineraries using Dobrostan Plateau include Bulgarian Butterfly Macro, with photography shaped around flight, garden and close-up and landscape and behaviour photography sessions. A high karst plateau in the central Rhodope Mountains, riddled with caves & defined by steep limestone slopes & flower-rich alpine meadows. One of Bulgaria’s premier butterfly sites, with Apollo, Clouded Apollo, Large Blue, Iolas Blue, Turquoise Blue & numerous fritillary species recorded, set within a wider Rhodope fauna of over 350 butterfly species.
