Travel Guide to Bulgaria 

Mountainous areas define much of the Bulgarian landscape, most notably the Balkan (Stara Planina) and Rodopi mountain ranges, as well as the Rila range, which includes the highest peak in the Balkan region, Musala. In contrast, the Danubian plain in the north and the Upper Thracian Plain in the south represent Bulgaria's lowest and most fertile regions. The 378-kilometer Black Sea coastline covers the entire eastern boundary of the country.
