Danube Plaın region looks similar to parts of Southern Utah, having a dry environment and dramatic red rocks. To the north is the Danube River and to the south and east are the Balkan mountains. The soil and terroir are one of the most unique in Bulgaria. Built up over 240 million years from the weathering of red rock, the soil is rich in iron, magnesium, and selenium. Ancient artifacts have been found in the region, evidence of wine making 3000+ years back. Another unique quality of the region is that it is basically uninhibited. Other than the town of Belograchik, all you see are sparsely populated and/or abandoned villages. The land is wild and untouched.
