Municipality of Ivaylovgrad
Located in the southeastern part of the Rhodope Mountains and in the Republic of Bulgaria, Ivaylovgrad municipality covers the northwestern part of Lower Thrace. On this fertile land with a captivating landscape and dense forests, which are reflected in the crystal waters of Ivaylovgrad Dam, we find traces of the thriving cultures of the Thracians and Romans, medieval Byzantium and Bulgaria, the culture of the Ottoman Empire and the reviving in the modern age Christian culture of local crafts and small landowners. The border geographical position – between two continents, between the plain and the mountains, as well as the complex historical destiny determine this region to be a “border” place of different cultures, religions and ethnic traditions, whose interaction here has created invaluable cultural wealth as a message for future generations. Here matures a magnificent wine made from the magical fruits of Dionysius, whose taste has gathered the sun and the legends of Thrace. Nature is kept clean and untouched by human activity.
