Devin is a SPA resort located in the Western Rhodopes. It is crossed by the Devin river, which flows into the Vacha river. In the past, this part of the mountain was inhabited by the Thracian tribe of Dii. The earliest traces of life were found in the area of Potreba, where a Thracian settlement and sanctuary were discovered. The ruins of an ancient Bulgarian fortress may be seen in the Kaleto Area, and in the area of Lakata some remains of a medieval village may also be visited. Both sites have the status of monuments. Devin and the area are rich in karst springs, rivers, and hot springs. Due to this, SPA tourism and SPA treatment develop actively here and the Devin mineral water is one of the most popular in Bulgaria.
