Chirpan Heights

The Chirpan Heights (Bulgarian: Чирпански възвишения) are a hilly ridge in the southernmost reaches of the Sredna Gora mountain range as it descends to the Upper Thracian Plain in central Bulgaria.

[1] The heights rise north of the town of Chirpan between the valleys of the rivers the Omurovska reka to the west and the Sazliyka to the east, both left tributaries of the Maritsa.

In the north, the valleys of the small rivers the Kalfenska of the Omurovska reka basin and the Chatalka of the Sazliyka drainage separate hills from the Sarnena Sredna Gora.

[1] There are 13 villages: Bratya Daskalovi, Vinarovo, Golyam Dol, Izvorovo, Mogilovo, Naydenovo, Rakitnitsa, Rupkite, Spasovo, Sredno Gradishte, Stoyan-Zaimovo, Saedinenie and Yavorovo.

[2] Southeast of the Chirpan Heights in the Upper Thracian Plain passes the Trakia motorway that connects the capital Sofia and the port of Burgas on the Black Sea.
