VITOSHA NATURE PARK – 90 YEARS
RESUME
Vitosha has been known since ancient times. It had different names over the centuries – Skomos, Skombros, Skopios. At the end of the 11th century, the name Vitosha was first mentioned in the written source "Bulgarian Apocryphal Chronicle". According to Professor Dimitar Dechev (1877-1958), the name Vitosha is Thracian and consists of two words – "vi" (a couple of, two), and "tosh" (to cut, to divide). So Vitosha means "two slices", which is reminiscent of the two Vitosha peaks, Golyam and Malak Rezen, clearly standing out on the mountain's relief.
