ELHOVO

The Elhovo settlement system is situated in the south-east part of the District of Yambol. It encompasses part of the lowland-hilly and low-mountain Tounja Area -a region of the middle valley of the Tounja River and part of the Dervent elevations.

The Elhovo Field has a central position. Its even surface spreads along both sides of the flowing from the north Tounja River. The altitude above the sea level is 100 - 150 m. The plain relief in the north parts gradually turns to low-mountain - here is included a part of the Dervent Elevations, which are very similar to The Stranja Mountain in their geographical characteristics. A conditional boundary between them is the flat saddle from which the Popovska River springs.

The state boundary with Turkey passes along their crest. The altitude above sea level of the part of the Dervent Elevations included in the settlement system reaches 450 m. The right tributaries to the Tounja River - the rivers Popovska and Arapliiska - take their waters from the elevations' south slopes.
