Abstract

The village of Nova Nadezhda is located in south-eastern Bulgaria, 60 km from the north-eastern border of Greece and 70 km from the north-western part of Turkey. It falls into the district of Haskovo and is situated in a small valley, on the right bank of the River Maritsa. From the geological point of view it is located on a river terrace, a part of the Ahmatovo formation in the Upper Thracian Ditch, composed by conglomerates, sands and clays.
