Kardam [ ˈkardɐm ] ( bulg . Кардам ) is a village in northeastern Bulgaria . It is located in Dobruja , in Dobrich Oblast and the municipality of General Toschewo.
geography
The village is located about 35 kilometers north of the city of Dobrich and five kilometers from the Bulgarian-Romanian border . The distance to the next town on the Romanian side - Negru Vodă - is about twelve kilometers.
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 Vidin and Calafat , this was the border crossing on the road from Kardam to Negru Vodă. Since the Danube runs further north here, this border crossing was on dry ground (without a bridge or ferry).
The border crossing was named after the village of Kardam (border crossing "Kardam", Bulgar. ГКПП "Кардам", transcription: GKPP "Kardam", long form: Granitschen Kontrolno Propuskwatelen point "Kardam")
