storks from eastern and middle Europe usually flew over Balkans (Stara Planina before) via Vratnik Pass (it connects Elena and Sliven) - the black line


The Central Balkan National Park lies in the heart of Bulgaria, nestled in the central and higher portions of the Balkan Mountains.

I hope Waba will find the right way to the south (to the Marmara) - fingers crossed very, very much!

Waba flew also very near the peak named Maragidik

MARAGIDIK (Mara Gidik) is a peak in Stara Planina, above Apriltsi, its other famous name is "Rusalka".
The peak is located north of the central ridge and is visible from the entire northern foot of the mountain east of the Beklemeto pass. From the top there is a wide panorama of the entire river Vidima and the town of Apriltsi, to a part of Northern Jendem and the Pre-Balkans. To the west of it is the saddle, through which the Rusalii Pass is transferred from Northern to Southern Bulgaria. ..... source: https://bg.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9C%D0 ... 0%B8%D0%BA
