Within the village of Manole is the Mound Maltepe. It has remained since the time of the Thracians and is the largest facility made by a human hand in the whole surrounding area. - https://ancientbulgaria.bg/listings/maltepe-mystery

situation at 21h (no update yesterday to the late evening)

- The same scenario: Krum moves in fields with melioration channels between the villages of Rogosh and Manole. For the night, he moved to his previous favored roost by the Stryama River. But Krum flew here and there a little over the fields again.
- Ten istý scenár: Krum sa pohybuje na poliach s melioračnými kanálmi medzi dedinami Rogosh a Manole. Na noc sa presunl na predchádzajúce favorizované nocovisko pri rieke Stryama. Ale Krum si opäť aj trochu nad poľami polietal sem i tam.
