Tucked into a narrow valley of the Yantra River in the central Balkan Mountains, Gabrovo sees notably higher rainfall and snowfall than the lowlands to the north or south, a direct result of its mountain setting. The steep valley walls mean sudden heavy rain can raise the river quickly through the town centre. NIMH radar coverage extends into this central Stara Planina district.
