Hadzhi Dimitar Peak, Mountain summit in Central Balkan Mountains, Bulgaria
Located east of Shipka Pass near Kazanlak, Hadzhi Dimitar Peak rises to 1441 meters with limestone and granite formations covered in grassy vegetation.
The peak witnessed a decisive battle in 1868 between Bulgarian rebels under Hadzhi Dimitar leadership and Ottoman forces during the liberation movement.
The name originates from Turkish word 'buzluca', reflecting the cold conditions at this elevation in the Central Balkan mountain range.
Two access roads connect to the peak from Shipka Pass, with the Kazanlak route providing better driving conditions for visitors.
Construction work in 1974 reduced the peak height by 9 meters through TNT blasting to create a foundation for the monument.
Elevation above the sea: 1,441 m
