Rhodope Mountains

 
Overview

The Rhodopes are a mountain range in Southeastern Europe, with over 83% of its area in southern Bulgaria and the remainder in Greece.

Description

Vast stretches of serene pine forests, perilously steep gorges and hundreds of remarkable caves characterise the enthralling Rodopi Mountains. Covering nearly 15,000 sq km of territory, the mountains tumble across into Greece. Much of the border between the two countries is determined by the Rodopi range (85% of which is Bulgarian).
