Set at the meeting point of the Rhodope and Rila-Pirin mountain systems, Velingrad sits at a relatively high elevation for a Bulgarian town, giving it cooler, wetter conditions than the Thracian Plain below, along with numerous mineral springs fed by the surrounding mountain hydrology. NIMH’s national radar network covers this mountain-basin district.
