A 19-meter iron tower above the Smolyan village of Mogilitsa in the “Lisa Gora” area reveals a view of mountains in Bulgaria and Greece. Visibility from its site is within a radius of 360 degrees. You can see a large part of the high Western Rhodope Mountains, the southernmost point of Bulgaria, Veikata peak, along with the highest peak in the entire Orlitsa section. The view reveals as many as 22 villages. “In good weather, the view reaches all the way to Pirin and the high Greek mountain Falakro,” says Daniel Hadzhiev from the “Kreposta-Mogilitsa” tourist company. The idea of building the panoramic tower dates back 7 years. The facility was built entirely by the tourism association with donations and free labor. A total of 70 steps lead to the site of the facility. The tower, which is 1,424 m above sea level, was built on the basis of an old border watchtower for fugitives crossing the border to Greece. The tourist company strengthened the structure with new elements for strength and safety. They also raised its height. It is completely safe for tourists. The Bulgarian tribagrenik is flying at the top.
