Dospat

This pocket-sized mountain town in Bulgaria's Rhodope Mountains, Dospat sits beside the highest-altitude dam in the country — a reservoir that ranks among the largest in Bulgaria by capacity and stretches across a wide expanse of water. The town traces its name to Despot Alexius Slav, who likely founded it in the 12th or 13th century, and today serves as the administrative centre of Dospat Municipality in Smolyan Province.
