Domain Marash Slivova Rakia

From ancient times the Wall was a natural border between the Khanate Bulgaria and the great Roman Empire called Byzantium. " Later, in the Middle Ages, when the gloomy Ottoman slavery spread over the Bulgarian lands, the Ottomans called Erkesia a "slit" in translation from their language. The slot that Khan Tervel made between two worlds and two cultures. Our southern border has always been a point of contact with the world of the Orient and the Asian world, with cultures far different from the European one. Thanks to Val Hercessia, Bulgarians manage to preserve their border between two worlds. In addition to its military defense function, Erkesia is also a well-established customs border through which trade and cultural relations with Byzantium were carried out until the fourteenth century. The facility is visible from space today, linking the Black Sea coast with the Maritza valley in a unique way.Today it is one of the most imposing ancient defense facilities in Europe on the border with the East - longer than even the famous Hadrian's Shaft in Northern England. Erkesia is declared a cultural monument of national importance. Now it is not a geographical boundary and serves nothing. It is of interest only to historians and archaeologists.
