Download music from Rhodope

The Rhodope Mountains are the most lyrical of Bulgarian mountains combining the relief of mild oval forms,the colourful "rugs" of nature animated by the architecture of picturesque villages, by the hospitality of the people and the legendary songs of Orpheus. Over 83 per cent of its area are in Bulgarian territory, the remaining are in Greece. It is located in the most southern part of the country and is the main mountain system in the Rila-Rhodope Massif. With its highest peak - Mount Golyam Perelik (2191 m) it occupies the 7th place among Bulgarian Mountains.

The Rhodope Mountans are some of the oldest mountains in Bulgaria, composed mainly of gneiss, amphibolits, lost and granite rocks. Very interesting are the karst areas with their deep river gorges, large caves and specific sculptured forms. The tuff in the Eastern Rhodopes has created strange natural sculptures - mushrooms, pyramids, etc. The mountain had not undergone a glacier period so typical glacier forms can not be found.
