The 18 km long gorge, situated in South-Western Bulgaria, is a natural corridor for a quite great number of migrants, which use the Via Aristotelis flyway. Excavated by Strouma River it separates Malashevska form Pirin Mountains. The steep shrubby rocky slopes of the gorge, overgrown with Mediterranean vegetation, and the old trees along the river bank create a unique combination of habitats for many invertebrates, reptiles and mammals.
Respectively the area is a heaven for bird lovers. Despite the high temperature amidst the bushes in the end of spring and during summer could be observed many interesting passerines such as Barred, Orphean, Olivaveous and Eastern Bonelli’s Warblers, Masked and Woodchat Shrikes. Peregrine Falcons, Long-legged Buzzards, Short-toed Eagles, Black-eared Wheatears, Rock Nuthatches, Rock Sparrows, Rock Trushes, Blue Rock Trushes, Rock and Cirl Buntings can also be easily spotted in the rocky terrain. During migration lots of storks, birds of prey and passerines use the convenient meridional direction of Kresna Gorge when flying southwards in autumn or northwards – in spring.
