Village of Churek is located in South-West Bulgaria. It is part of Elin Pelin Municipality, Sofia District.? The municipality is occupies the eastern part of the Sofia Field, the slopes of the Balkan on the north and slopes of the Sredna Gora Mountain on the south-southwest. The municipal centre - the town of Elin Pelin - is situated 24 km east of the capital Sofia. The Elin Pelin municipality borders with the municipalities of Sofia, Botevgrad, Gorna Malina, Ihtiman, Samokov and Svoge.The territory of the Elin Pelin municipality is rich in water resources. The Lesnovska River, which flows into the Iskar River before the village of Gorni Bogrov, and the Matitsa River, which springs from the Mourgash part of the Balkan and flows into the Lesnovska River by the town of Elin Pelin, flow through it. The Ognyanovo Dam with a capacity of 40 million cub. m and the Taratorskoto Dam over the village of Gabra with a capacity of about 5 million cub. m. are situated on the municipality's territory. There are three geothermal springs in the municipality. The spring in the village of Ravno Pole, where the mineral composition and the flow rate of the water permit the construction of a balneological centre is of national importance. The other two springs are in the village of Eleshnitsa- the Toplika - and in the town of Elin Pelin, where the drilling has stopped for now. The average annual precipitation is about 550 mm/sq. m. There are high subsurface waters in the plain part.The Elin Pelin municipality has excellent natural conditions for the development of holiday-making and tourism, but the material base is extremely insufficient. Only international hunting tourism is practiced in the Aramliets Hunting Preserve. There are excellent possibilities for the development of country tourism and the construction of holiday bases, which are regrettably still unused.
