It is established in 1987 with the aim to preserve the natural habitation of the endemic edelweiss, the venerable beech, oak and fir lies within the Troyan Municipality, on the village of Chiflik’s lands lying on a steep, barely accessible mountain slope. Kozya Stena is a botanist’s paradise, home to over 40 species of rare, protected plants and the edelweiss, the white star of the mountain.
