Mountain range in Bulgaria
Sakar ( ; also ) is a mountain in southeastern Bulgaria, between the rivers Maritsa, Tundzha, Sokolitsa, and Sazliyka and close to the borders with Greece and Turkey. The mountain's highest peak is Vishegrad at 856 m. The mountain was formed during the late Jurassic to early Cretaceous periods.
Sakar is known for its biodiversity, where some of Bulgaria's endangered birds of prey can be found. Sakar is one of the habitats hosting the lesser kestrel, a species previous absent from Bulgaria.
Sakar is widely known for the wines produced in the area, but tobacco growing remains a leading occupation. The region's most important administrative centre is the town of Topolovgrad in Haskovo Province.
