Geography of Elhovo
Elhovo is situated on the left bank of the Tundzha River in the rich area in the southeastern section of the Thracian Valley (Thrace), between the Strandzha and Sakar mountains. 38 kilometers from Yambol, 100 kilometers from Burgas, and 339 kilometers southeast of Sofia. System of settlement Elhovo is situated in the Yambol region’s southeastern corner. Covering a portion of the lowland and low mountain Tundzha region – a section of the river Tundzha’s middle valley – and a portion of the Dervent Heights.
The field of Elhovo is the focal point of this area. Its level area spans on both sides of the north-flowing river Tundzha. The typical elevation is between 100 and 150 meters. The field gradually descends towards the mild slopes of the Manastira and Dervent Heights in the surrounding areas.
The flat landscape in the north progressively transitions to low mountain – this includes a portion of the Dervent heights, which geographically resemble the Strandzha (mountain). Between them is probably a flat saddle, from which the river Popovska originates. Their highlands are home to the state’s border with Turkey. The settlement system inside the Dervent heights is located at an average elevation of 450 meters. The right inflows of the river Tundzha – the rivers Popovska and Arapliyska – gather their water on their northern slopes.
The area’s terrain has a fairly limited altitude amplitude, and soil erosion is moderate. In the south, the river Tundzha cuts through a minor mountain range, separating the Dervent and Sakar peaks. The river cuts through them, forming a lengthy gorge. It is a gorgeous and appealing location due to its steep slopes and various turns.

They are discovered in the hamlet of Golyam Dervent, close to the Republic of Turkey’s border. Dolmens are the earliest tombs in Thrace.

In Western Europe and the Caucasus, similar megalithic constructions have been preserved. They are exclusively found on the Balkan Peninsula in the Eastern Rhodopes, Sakar, and Strandja. The majority of dolmens are single chambered; just a few are two chambered. Both styles may include or exclude an entrance corridor (dromos). In 2007, an investigation was conducted on the largest of the two dolmens near the town of Golyam Dervent. It comprises of two cameras and a dromos (entrance) and is dated between the ninth and eighth centuries BC. When people witness a dolmen – a genuine historical monument dating back at least 3,000 years – they experience unfathomable emotions.
