Region North-Western

The North West planing region includes Districts of Vidin, Montana, Vratsa, Pleven and Lovech. This is the weakest region in terms of economic strength, contributing about 6.2% (2001) to the country`s Gross Value Added. The main industries are in the energy and chemical sectors. The leader in the energy sector is the nuclear power plant "Kozlodui", generating 43% of the total electricity in the country. 
The most attractive natural phenomena are the Belogradchik rocks and the Ledenika and Magura caves. The healthy mineral springs in the region should support the growth of the main tourist centre at Varshets. The various artificial lakes and the Danube river are also important for tourist development
