Besides the Bulgarian woodland territory the project covers protected territories in Austria, Albania, Belgium, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Ukraine, Spain, Italy and Croatia. Beech forests in the Central Balkan Park spread over 260 square kilometers and are among the broadest area of natural beech woodlands in Europe.
