BULGARIA ~ Rhodope Mountains ~

... Lovely Spring view...  known as the homeland of the mythical singer and poet Orpheus who according to the legend was born and lived here.... called  the "green heart of Europe" for their vast pinewoods, probably the largest in the Balkans...  the best place in Bulgaria for walking vacations... Thanks a lot Mariyana!!【ツ】

The Rhodopes are a mountain range in Southeastern Europe, with over 83% of its area in southern Bulgaria and the remainder in Greece. Its highest peak, Golyam Perelik (2,191 meters (7,188 ft)), is the seventh highest Bulgarian mountain.
