Zlatia (region)

Zlatia (Bulgarian: Златия, often with a definite article: Златията, Zlatiata; also Zlatiya, Zlatija) is a small geographic region in Northern Bulgaria.

Zlatia is a low asymmetrical plateau in the northwestern part of the country, a subregion of the Danubian Plain.

The plateau's elevation is around 100–150 metres above mean sea level, the highest point reaching 176 m near the Danube.

Zlatia has been an Important Bird Area since 2005 (parts of it since 1997)[1] and has been included in the EU's Natura 2000 ecological network.

The main local product has traditionally been grain, leading to Zlatia's labeling as "Bulgaria's northwestern granary", a comparison to Dobruja.
