Chumerna is a mountain summit in the Balkan Mountains reaching approximately 1500 meters in height. It features steep slopes, exposed rock faces, and offers expansive views across the surrounding valleys from the peak.
The area served as a natural stronghold for ancient Thracian communities who valued the high ground for defense and control. Evidence of their settlements and use of this strategic location remains visible in the region today.
