Vetren is situated on the banks of the river Danube (Dunav), about 18km from the town of Silistra, near the Srebarna bioshere reserve.

The Village is famous for its extremly pure air which is scientifically proved to have qualities to help people with lung diseases and respiratory problems to recover very quickly and for this reason the Bulgarian health organization issued special sertificate for that.

Vetren is also a place of archeological interest where numerous roman remains have been found.

The ancient Romans were using the hilly banks of the Danube to build fortresses called "Roman limit" in order to protect the eastern part of their Empire.
