Shtraklevo (Bulgarian: Щръклево) is a village in northern Bulgaria.
Rousse Airport is located approximately 1 kilometer from the village.
In the past, the village was called Kadıköy (Bulgarian: Кадикьой), or the headquarters of the judge, the 'kadı'.
Another version of the tale goes that there was a small forest, where every day during the summer, the cranes hid from insects.
Close to the village one may find fragments of clay containers, which serve as a proof that the area was populated in Roman times.
