Tumba Peak, Mountain summit at Sintiki Municipality, Greece.
Description
Tumba Peak reaches 1880 meters and features steep slopes on its northern and southern faces with a distinctive dome shape. The summit is composed of metamorphic rock formations that define its rugged appearance.
History
The peak carries historical importance from World War I, when Bulgarian military forces built strategic positions here. Remnants of these fortifications remain visible near the mountain today.
Culture
Since 2001, an annual gathering called 'Balkans Without Borders' brings people from Bulgaria, Greece, and North Macedonia to meet at this location. The event strengthens connections between communities across the three nations.
Practical
Hikers can reach the peak from several starting points including the Bulgarian villages of Klyuch and Skrat or the Macedonian village of Smolari. Each route offers different difficulty levels and landscapes.
