Heh,
In Bulgaria there are also great mountains like Rila, Rodopi (Rhodopes), Pirin, Balkan or Stara Planina (Stara Planina is translated Old Mountain).
As for the black sands - we have Golden ones (Golden Sands is name of one of the greatest health resorts at Black Sea coast)
If you are curious about Bulgaria and the Black Sea see:
