The Tronken or Tronki ( Bulgarian Тронки ) are cited according to Rupen and next to Sagorzi one of the Bulgarian ethnic groups that the beach Saddle -Gebirge in the southeast of the country live. The name is from the word Tronka what they, instead of the (bulg. Тронка) Bulgarian common malko (bulg. Малко) for small used, have emerged.
Their settlement area borders in the west on the settlement area of the Rupen and occupies the villages in the upper course of the Fakijska river up to the southern East Thracian , today's Turkish Kırklareli . Until 1912/1913 they made up the majority of the population in Malko Tarnowo and in the villages west of Kırklareli. After the Second Balkan War in 1913, however, they were expelled from the Turkish part of Strandschas by Turkish militants (see Thracian Bulgarians ).
Today they settle in the high-lying region of the Strandscha Mountains in the Bulgarian municipality of Sredez , but especially the villages of Momina zarkwa , Goljamo Bukowo , Kirowo , Fakija , Bogdanowo , Gorno and Dolno Jabalkowo .
The Tronkern are said to be descendants of resettlers who moved here from western Bulgaria (region around Kyustendil , Sofia , Ichtiman ) in the 16th century .
