Jowkowo [ ˈjɔfkovo ] ( bulg . Йовково ) is a village in northeastern Bulgaria . It is located in Dobruja , in Dobrich Oblast and the municipality of General Toschewo.
geography
The village is about 38 km north of the city of Dobrich and 1 km from the Bulgarian-Romanian border. The distance to the next town on the Romanian side - Negru Vodă - is approx. 8 km.
Bulgarian-Romanian border crossing
Since the border between Bulgaria and Romania runs mainly along the Danube and the only bridge over the Danube is near Russe , there were only a few border crossings before Bulgaria and Romania joined the EU. In addition to the Danube ferry between Widin and Calafat , this was the border crossing between Jowkowo and Negru Vodă. Since the Danube runs further north here, this border crossing was on dry ground (without a bridge or ferry).
