Known as the centre of Bulgaria’s rose-growing Valley of the Roses, Kazanlak sits in a basin between the Balkan Mountains and the Sredna Gora range, where the surrounding high ground traps moisture and produces more rainfall than the open Thracian Plain further south. NIMH’s national radar network tracks storms forming over this enclosed valley.
