Sredna Gora
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sredna Gora (Средна гора) is a mountain range in central Bulgaria, situated parallel with Stara Planina and extending to the river Iskar to the west and the elbow of Tundzha north of Yambol to the east. Sredna Gora is 285 km long, reaching 50 km at its greatest width. Its highest peak is Golyam Bogdan (1604 m).
The mountain is divided into three parts by the rivers Topolnitsa and Stryama — a western (Zapadna or Ihtimanska Sredna Gora), a central (Sashtinska Sredna Gora) and an eastern part (Sarnena Gora).
The fauna of Sredna Gora is relatively poor compared to other regions of Bulgaria, with typical Central European species being present.
