River near Sofia and is in Balkan mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\u00a0Iskar\u00a0 is a right tributary of the\u00a0Danube. With a length of 368\u00a0km, it is the longest river that runs entirely within\u00a0Bulgaria. Originating as three forks in\u00a0Balkan’s highest mountain range\u00a0Rila, the Iskar flows in a northern direction until its confluence with the\u00a0Danube. As it flows northwards it fuels the largest artificial lake in the country, the\u00a0Iskar Reservoir, forms the divide between the\u00a0Vitosha\u00a0and\u00a0Plana Mountains\u00a0in the west and the\u00a0Sredna Gora\u00a0mountain range in the east before entering the\u00a0Sofia Valley, which contains the nation’s capital\u00a0Sofia. From there the Iskar runs through the\u00a0Balkan Mountains, forming the spectacular 84\u00a0km long\u00a0Iskar Gorge. As it crosses the mountains, its water course turns in a north-eastern direction at\u00a0Lakatnik. North of the Balkan Mountains, the river crosses the\u00a0Danubian Plain\u00a0and finally flows into the Danube between the villages of Baykal and\u00a0Gigen. Geologically, Iskar is the oldest river in the Balkan Peninsula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
