Rhodope Mountains - Rhodope

Japanese: ロドピ[山脈] - ロドピ

A mountain range stretching from southwestern Bulgaria to the northeastern tip of Greece. It is about 220 km long, with an elevation of 1,000-2,000 m, and its highest point is Mount Musala (2,925 m) at the northwestern tip. It is covered with coniferous forests, and tobacco and fruit cultivation and livestock farming are thriving. There are also mineral resources such as lead, zinc, and copper, and heavy metal industries are carried out here, but environmental pollution has become a problem since the 1989 reforms. In ancient Roman times, it was the border between Macedonia and Thrace.
