Belevehchevo (Bulgarian: Белевехчево) is a village in Sandanski Municipality, Blagoevgrad Province, south-western Bulgaria and as of 2013 has only 1 inhabitant.[1] It lies at the south-western foothills of the Pirin mountains facing the Sandanski-Petrich Valley. It is located at about 1 km east of the municipal centre Sandanski and some 124 km south of the national capital Sofia.[1]
In 1873 it had 32 households and 100 inhabitants, all of them Bulgarians. At the outbreak of the First Balkan War in 1912 13 people from Belevehchevo joined the Macedonian-Adrianopolitan Volunteer Corps that was formed in support the Bulgarian war effort against the Ottoman Empire.[2]
