The Strandzha is Bulgaria's, and possibly Europe's, least known mountain range. It is a wild maze where you can easily get lost and a safe haven for species that survived the extinction of the last Ice Age. It is a mysterious place where century-old legends and stories cohabit with paganism, Christianity and modern mythology. It is dotted with ancient and latter day ruins. Yet, it is a lot more than that. This book is designed as both a travelogue and a guide into the unknown Strandzha. It will take you to the important sites and events and at the same time explain the contexts. A must for anyone with an interest in southeast Europe in general and Bulgaria in particular.
