Драгоманското блато е карстово блато в западната част на Софийската котловина, на 1,5 km източно от град Драгоман, (посока село Големо Малово) и на 38 km от София. Намира се в обширна котловина, заобиколена от варовикови възвишения, в южното подножие на карстовата планина Чепън. Разпростира се на площ около 350 хектара и е с приблизителни размери 2,5 km от запад на изток и 1,2 km от север на юг. Драгоманското блато е пресушено през 30-те години на 20 век. Тогава са изградени дренажни канали, а впоследствие – помпена станция, за да се използва земята за земеделски цели. За дълъг период животът в него замира. С това изчезват два вида вида растения, на които то е било единствено находище в България (мехурчестата алдрованда и парнасиеволистната калдезия) и едно от последните находища на сивия жерав, преди той да изчезне като гнездящ вид в България.

В резултат на спиране изпомпването на водите през 90-те години блатото бързо се възстановява и е една от малкото възстановени влажни зони в България.

Територията на блатото попада в две от защитените зони към Натура 2000:

Раяновци – по директивата за птиците[1]

Драгоман – по директивата за местообитанията[2]

В закона за защитените територии в България блатото все още не е обявено за защитена територия (резерват или защитена местност), но поради включването му в две от защитените зони, определени дейности в него не са разрешени. Това са пресушаване, използване на пестициди, палене на тръстикови масиви и др.

Блатото се намира на пътя на миграцията на птиците Via Aristotelis, тук те спират в богатата блатна растителност за да отпочинат, преди да...

This place could be so much better, but is hugely lacking. There’s obviously been a large fire recently that has burnt out some of the boardwalk, and I don’t know if what happened to the bird hide is fire related, but there’s only the metal skeleton left. We did find a short section of boardwalk after walking through a cleared path for 100m or so, but there wasn’t much of it and it dead ended quite quickly. Could be so much better with a little investment. I don’t know how secure the car park etc is,...

Dragoman marsh is protected as part of the Natural 2000 network and a Ramsar site, important for birds. There are bird-ringing camps there in the autumn, aiming at studying the biodiversity. It had walking bridges, but most of them were burned down during a massive fire. New bridges are to be constructed to replace them. Dragoman marsh is an hour's ride from Sofia and you can reach it by cat or train. It's really close to the...

Not an impressive place, if you were passing from there pay it a visit, but it's not worthy for the road trip from Sofia although it is less than an hour, I saw nothing but a few frogs. The tower is abandoned and the door is locked from inside, you can unlock it though from the side window but it has very limited vie for outside as the windows are very small.
