Located in: [[Balkans]]. The [[Balkan Mountains|Balkan mountain range]] is located in the eastern part of the [[Balkans]] in Southeastern [[Europe]]. The range is conventionally taken to begin on the border between [[Bulgaria]] and [[Serbia]]. It then runs in a south-easterly direction along the border, then eastward across [[Bulgaria]], forming a natural barrier between the northern and southern halves of the country, before finally reaching the [[Black Sea]] at [[Cape Emine]].
