Chamla (Bulgarian: Чамла) is an abandoned village in the municipality of Smolyan, located in the Smolyan Province of southern Bulgaria. The village is located 150.9 km from Sofia.[2]
Chamla is formally the highest village in Bulgaria, even though it is abandoned—this is because the land, administratively speaking, is still considered a village, although there have not been people there for many years. It is located close to the village Mugla and a rock formation known as the Trigrad Gorge.
