Location and subdivision
While the Bulgarian Danube Plain in the north by the Danube, on the west by the river Timok and to the east by the Black Sea is clearly delineated, it is the south by the forerunner of the Balkan Mountains , the so-called Vorbalkan difficult to define, many with its gorges and valleys . In the south, the approximate border runs along the northern foothills of the following mountains and elevations: Vrushka Chuka, Weneza, Schiroka Planina, Dewetaschko Plato, Tarnovo elevation, Preslav Planina and north of the valley of the Kamchia River. Within these limits, the Danube Plain covers an area of 31,500 km², with a length of 500 km and a width of 20-25 km in the western part and up to 120 km in the eastern part.
The North Bulgarian Plate is divided into three parts:
- Western part, between the Timok and Wit rivers
- Middle part, between the Wit and Jantra rivers
- Eastern part, between the Jantra River and the Black Sea
