Region
The Rhodopes are a mountain range in south-eastern Europe, the largest by area in Bulgaria, with over 83% of their area in the south of that country and the rest in Greece. The highest peak is Golyam Perelik at 2,191 m, and a significant part of Bulgaria's hydropower is produced here.
The lakes are reservoirs of the hydropower cascades on the Arda and the Vacha: Studen Kladenets, Kardzhali, Ivaylovgrad, Batak, Dospat, Shiroka Polyana and others.
