Varbovo (Bulgarian: Върбово) is a village in northwestern Bulgaria. It has a population of 93 as of 2022.[1]
The village is situated at an altitude of 480 m western part of the Fore-Balkan, a mountainous chain straddling north of and in parallel with the Balkan Mountains. North of the settlement runs the Varbovska reka, a right tributary of the Stakevska reka of the Lom river basin. There is a small reservoir west of the village. Varbovo is the starting point of several hiking trails leading to the Vedrenik Ridge.[2][3]
Administratively, it is part of Chuprene Municipality, situated in the southern part of Vidin Province, and has a territory of 41.19 km2.[4] It lies close to the Bulgaria–Serbia border some 4 km northwest of the municipal center Chuprene, which is the closest settlement, and 10 km south of the town of Belogradchik. There are two roads, one leading to Chuprene, and another heading to the village of Borovitsa.[5]
