Gorna Oryahovitsa, Railway junction city in northern Bulgaria
Gorna Oryahovitsa sits at 218 meters elevation in the Veliko Tarnovo Province, surrounded by hills and plateaus near the Yantra River.
The area contains remnants of Thracian settlements from the 5th millennium BC, with the Kamaka fortress standing between the 5th century BC and 1st century BC.
