Мартинова чука, Mountain peak in Chiprovtsi Balkan Mountains, Bulgaria
Martinova Chuka rises to 2026 meters in elevation and stands as the third highest summit of the Western Balkan Mountains along the Bulgarian-Serbian border.
The peak carries the name of a local resistance fighter named Martin, who defended the region during times of conflict in earlier centuries.
The area surrounding Martinova Chuka contains remnants of ancient Roman roads paved with stone, indicating historical trade routes through these mountains.
Reaching the summit requires a special permit from the Border Police Department of Dragoman due to its location in a restricted border zone.
The mountain shelter Martinitsa, situated at 1500 meters beneath the peak, offers accommodation for 12 people and maintains supplies for mountaineers.
