It is located 1.5 km Southeast from Sofia's Boyana neighborhood.

It was later transformed into a lake with the establishment of the Vitosha aqueduct over Sofia in 1906.

In the Vitosha lake you can find true toads from the family Bufonidae, true frogs from the family Ranidae, and Northern crested newts, a type of Salamandridae.

[3] There is another trail leading to Suhi Vrah, a peak in Vitosha mountain at an altitude of 1700 meters.

The Lake has been announced as part of the European Natural Heritage in Bulgaria.
