Durankulak-Vama Veche border crossing

The border crossing Durankulak-Vama Veche ( Bulgarian ГКПП Дуранкулак-Вама Веке - GKPP Durankulak- Granitschen Kontrolno Propuskwatelen point Durankulak - border control passage point Durankulak) on the European route 87 lies between Bulgaria and Romania . Along with the Kardam-Negru Vodă border crossing, it is one of the two mainland border crossings between the two states; the other border crossings otherwise cross the Danube. It is located in the Dobruja region , near the Bulgarian village of Durankulak , around 25 km north of the city of Shabla . On the Romanian side, the village of Vama Veche is the next village, which is about 10 km south of Mangalia .

The name of the Romanian village Vama Veche means “old customs”. The place was given this name in 1913 when, as a result of the Second Balkan War, the southern Dobruja was annexed to Romania and the customs were moved further south to Ecrene (next to Albena ). Despite the return of the South Dobruja to Bulgaria in 1940, the name remained unchanged.
