The river Yantra starts off life as a small stream one thousand three hundred and forty metres
above sea level in the Hadzhi Dimitar peak of the Stara Planina mountain range.
As the Yantra river flows down from the mountains the upper section of the river is lined with the
beech species of trees, towering over the river giving a picturesque landscape that makes one
feel tranquil.
One its journey the Yantra river creates many famous landmarks like the Tsarevets hill which it
surrounds making a natural fortified area where many Bulgarian Tsars and high clergy lived in
the past.
The Yantra river is well known in Bulgaria for its gorges as the river cuts through mountain
ranges and hilly lands giving the most beautiful views that rival many across the world.
The Yantra river has been known by two other names in the history of man, the first of which
was given to the river about seven thousand years ago during the neolithic period when
Thracian people lived on the land, this name was Yatrus which meant fast running.
The other name given to the Yantra river was by the Slavic people who moved in to the
Bulgarian region around the fourth to fifth century, this name was Etar.
