Characteristics of the resort Vrelo
This popular resort is named after a nearby spring. This is Jelovicko vrelo, which with its basin is located north of Pirot, towards the border with Bulgaria. The basin of this spring was built mostly of Mesozoic carbonate rocks, namely the Middle Triassic. The Vrelo picnic area is surrounded by a complex of cottages and a workers' resort. This resort is an ideal place for walking, vacation, recreation, cycling, but also hunting and fishing. Lately, intensive work has been done on arranging this part of the Stara Planina. In addition to the picnic area, here you will find a point of sale for fresh trout in the Vrelo Pond, the newly built Visitor Center of the Stara Planina, as well as the restaurant of traditional cuisine Konaci Vrelo, which you should definitely visit.
