Botev Peak, the highest mountain in the Balkan range at 2,376 metres (7,795 ft), is located in this section. The Eastern Balkan Mountains extend from the Vratnik Pass to Cape Emine, with a length of 160 kilometres (99 mi). The highest peak is Balgarka, at 1,181 metres (3,875 ft). The eastern Balkan Mountains form the lowest part of the range.
The barred owl is roughly intermediate in size between the larger Ural and the smaller tawny owl, but the structural features of its relatively short and decurved claws more so resemble the tawny species as does their dietary and habitat ecology. [9] The spotted owl has been hypothesized to be within a superspecies with the barred owl. [13]
