whole day 26.10.2024

BULGARIA: Belozem/Белозем - a village in Rakovski Municipality of Plovdiv Province

- So far, Krum seems to have found the perfect place: he spends the night by the Maritsa River and fewer than 2 km to the north he forages and rests by one of the irrigation canals in the local rice fields.
- Zdá sa, že Krum si nateraz našiel ideálne miesto: nocuje pri rieke Marica a menek ako 2 km na sever hľadá potravu a odpočíva pri jednom zo zavlažovacích kanálov na miestnych ryžových poliach.
