Hunting in Bulgaria

Bulgaria

The Republic of Bulgaria has an area of 111,000 square kilometers. The country’s topography is extremely diverse, with elevations ranging from 0 to 2,925 meters—including an alpine zone and coastal habitats. The main tree species that make up Bulgaria’s forests are oak, beech, pine, and spruce. The country’s hunting area is divided into hunting management zones and covers all territories outside of populated areas and nature reserves. No hunting management regions have been designated within national parks. Thus, the total hunting area is approximately 90,000 square kilometers, of which about one-third is forest, while the remainder consists of farmland and pastures.
