Garbishte village, Kardjali municipality

The village of Gerbishte is located in the easternmost part of the Western Rhodopes, 5-10 km west of their border with the Eastern Rhodopes. It is located along the long smooth saddle of a ridge with a north-south direction, and perhaps the name Gerbishte is due to this relief form of the “back of the mountain”. The altitude at the mosque in the southern end of the village is about 910 m.
