👉 Bosna (ridge) in the context of Fakiyska reka

The Fakiyska reka (Bulgarian: Факийска река) is a 87 km long river in eastern Bulgaria that flows into Lake Burgas, which drains into the Black Sea.

The river takes its source under the name Garkova reka at an altitude of 463 m in the western part of the Strandzha mountain range, some 1.7 km north of the village of Strandzha just north of the Bulgaria–Turkey border. It initially flows in a deforested valley direction north until the village of Momina Tsarkva, northeast until Fakiya and east until Golyamo Bukovo. It then enters a deep, narrow and forested valley with many meanders, which separates the Strandzhan ridges of Karatepe to the northwest and Bosna to the southeast. Downstream of the abandoned village of Rakov Dol the valley widens and downstream of Zidarovo enters the Burgas Plain, where the Fakiyska reka forms a wide alluvial valley. It flows into Lake Mandrensko some 1.5 km southwest of the village of Dimchevo. The lake itself drains into the Gulf of Burgas in the Black Sea.

Bosna (ridge) in the context of Ropotamo

The Ropotamo (Bulgarian: Ропотамо [ropoˈtamo], from the Ancient Greek word Ροπόταμος ropotamos meaning "border river") is a river in south-eastern Bulgaria. It takes its source from the Bosna Ridge in the Strandzha Mountains, running for 48.5 km to empty into the Black Sea near Cape Saint Demetrius between Dyuni and Primorsko.

The river is most often noted for its 30 m-wide mouth that is home to an abundance of flora species, over 100 of which endangered in the country. The lower section of the river is a protected area since 1940 and forms part of the Ropotamo Reserve. The lower Ropotamo is a popular tourist attraction because of the water lilies and the rock formations above the river, on some of which white-tailed eagles nest.

Bosna (ridge) in the context of Dyavolska reka

The Dyavolska reka (Bulgarian: Дяволска река, "devil's river") is a 37 km long river in Burgas Province, southeastern Bulgaria.

The river originates under the name Dudenska reka from a spring at an altitude of 440 m, southeast of the summit of Chukara (466 m) in the Bosna Ridge of the Strandzha mountain range. It flows in northeastern direction though a forested valley until the village of Yasna polyana. Downstream of the village it turns east and forms a wide swampy valley until its mouth in a dike-protected riverbed. It flows into the Black Sea at the town of Primorsko. The marshy area at is mouth is known as Dyavolsko blato (Bulgarian: Дяволско блато, "devil's swamp"), covered by common reed ("Phragmites australis"). The swamp is fed by a freshwater spring, has an area of 2.7 km and depth up to 3 m.
