Sredna Gora ( Bulgarian Средна гора , meaning medium forest , or low mountain range ) is a chain of mountains that extends in Bulgaria south of the Balkan Mountains and parallel to it in an east-west direction.
geography
The Sredna Gora is divided from west to east from the Pancherevo breakthrough east of Sofia into the partial mountains Zapadna (also Ihtimanska Sredna Gora ), Sashtinska Sredna Gora and Sarnena Gora to Jambol . The highest peak is the Bogdan with 1604 m . Between the Sredna Gora to the south and the Balkan Mountains to the north is located near the town of Kazanlak , the Rose Valley (Розова долина). The Upper Thracian Plain extends south of the mountain range .
history
Several caves and hot springs have prompted people to settle in the oak and beech forests since ancient times. Two Neolithic residential buildings from the 6th millennium BC were built in the area of the city of Stara Sagora . BC, which are among the best-preserved sites of that time in Europe. In the Mechi Kladenets area, eight kilometers east of Stara Sagora, are the remains of one of the oldest European copper and gold mines from the 5th millennium BC. In the Sredna Gora numerous other traces of mines and metalworking sites from prehistoric and ancient times were found.
In Panagyurishte a treasure of gold and silver was Thracians discovered. Roman ruins can be found in Hisar.
The April Uprising , which was important for the history of Bulgaria, began in Koprivshtitsa in Sredna Gora.
The mountain range has given its name to Srednogorie Heights , a mountain range in Grahamland on the Antarctic Peninsula , since 2010 .
