Тrain station Gara Bov is located at the foot of the picturesque Iskar Gorge, 8 km from the municipal center - Svoge and 51 km from the capital Sofia. The terrain is predominantly mountainous with many gorges, precipices and caves. The inhabitants of the village of Bov have created a legend, serving as a tourist attraction. According to her, the village bears the name of the French knight Saint de Boeuf, captured by the warriors of Tsar Kaloyan, who became his vassal. After the death of Emperor Baldwin Flanders in 1206, the marquis received the favor of the Bulgarian ruler to settle with his companions on the land of today's village. Prior to the railway line, the houses at Bov Station were only three. The population movement at Bov Station is the strongest in the period 1956 - 1957, when the inhabitants of the village of Bov from 1557 decreased to 533, while at the same time the inhabitants of Bova railway station increased to 1777 people. Later, the municipality moved to Bove Station
