Compact port town on the right bank of the Danube in northwestern Bulgaria's Vratsa Province, Oryahovo sits at the mouth of the Ogosta river and operates a ferry connection to the Romanian town of Bechet across the water. The surrounding area is hilly wine-growing country, with the wider region holding UNESCO World Heritage sites. The ferry crossing makes it a practical stop for travellers moving between Bulgaria and Romania.
