Concrete structure over Kleptuza karst spring removed

A concrete structure that had been built over the Kleptuza karst spring in Velingrad has been dismantled. The removal of the structure, which channeled the spring's water, was carried out without any official announcement from either the Velingrad municipality or the bottling company "Timbark Bulgaria," which is the investor.

The circumstances surrounding the removal remain unclear, as no official statements have been made by the involved parties. The presence of the concrete structure had been a point of contention, and its unannounced removal raises questions about the process and the reasons behind it.

Kleptuza is a significant natural landmark in Velingrad, known for its karst spring. The intervention with the concrete structure had altered the natural flow of the spring. The unannounced dismantling suggests a swift action, the motives for which are yet to be publicly explained by local authorities or the company.
