Kirkovo

Kirkovo (Bulgarian: Кирково) is a village in Kardzhali Province, southern Bulgaria, near the Greek border.

[2] The Veykata mountain top, the southernmost point in Bulgaria, is located in the Kirkovo region.

To reach the summit, it is possible to begin from the Hvoynova Polyana mountain hostel, located roughly 5 km (3 miles) away from neighboring village Gorno Kapinovo, the southernmost village in Bulgaria, via a cobblestone road.

This large area aims to conserve ancient forests of beech, fir, and mountainous sycamore trees, as well as various threatened plants and animals.

In the area, old bridges built by local craftsmen can be seen, with the best-preserved examples in the villages of Drangovo, Shumnatitsa, Gorski Izvor, Lozengradtsi, and Tihomir.
