Davidkovo

Davidkovo (Bulgarian: Давидково) is a village in the Central Rhodope Mountains of southernmost Bulgaria, part of Banite Municipality, Smolyan Province.

The village has a mixed population of Eastern Orthodox and Muslim Bulgarians.

A landmark in the vicinity is Svoboda Peak 13 km to the north, which is an ancient sacred site today worshipped by the Muslim population as the final resting place of the legendary hero Enihan Baba.

An ancient custom named Davidkovska Poprelka is continuing to this day and the local Rhodopean folk dress is regarded as particularly colourful and beautiful.
