Narechen, also called Narechenski Bani, is a village in Asenovgrad Municipality, Plovdiv Province, central Bulgaria. As of 2013 it had 719 inhabitants. It is set amid a pine forest on the Chepelarska reka in the Rhodope Mountains, 42 km southwest of Plovdiv. The village is notable for its hypothermal mineral springs which was transformed into a spa resort.
Insider tip — Narechenski Bani is tucked into a deep Rhodope Mountain gorge carved by the Vucha River, where the emerald-green river and surrounding beech and fir forests create a dramatic setting for a traditional Bulgarian mineral spa. The thermal waters here are among the most visited in the Plovdiv hinterland, used for respiratory and rheumatic treatments. The gorge road itself is a scenic drive, with the medieval Bachkovo Monastery just a short detour away.
