Geography

Falakro Oros (Greek: Φαλακρό όρος, translated in English as "Bald mountain"; Bulgarian: Боздаг, Bozdag; Turkish: Bozdağ, translated in English as "Gray mountain") is a mountain in the Drama regional unit, in eastern Greek Macedonia, northern Greece. The elevation of its highest summit, Profitis Ilias, is 2,232 metres above sea level.[1] There is a ski resort on the mountain.

A very small part of a low northern offshoot of Falakro extends into Bulgarian territory, just south of the village of Beslen in Blagoevgrad Province. The highest point that lies within Bulgaria is the forested peak Chiplakbair (1,090 metres high) on the border between the two countries.[3]
