Graovo is a historical-geographical and ethnographic region in western Bulgaria, located in the Pernik Province.
Graovo The region includes the Breznik and Pernik basins, which are bordered by the Zaval Plan mountain range (the Zaval, Viskyar, Lyulin, and Vitosha mountains) to the northeast and east, and the Ruy-Verila mountain group (the Strazha, Cherna Gora, and Golo Bardo mountains) to the southwest and south. Graovo is separated from the neighboring Mrakata region, which occupies the Radomir Plain, by the Golo Bardo mountain.
The terrain is low-mountainous and hilly, dissected by the right tributaries of the Struma River, including the Konska River. The climate is continental, with precipitation levels below the national average. The soils are primarily chernozem-smolnitsa (black earth), brown forest, and meadow soils. In its southeastern part, around the town of Pernik, there are coal deposits (Pernik Coal Basin). Near the town of Breznik, there are mineral springs. The climatic and soil conditions suggest relatively low agricultural and livestock development.
Ethnographically, the region is typically Bulgarian, with the notable absence of mosques during the Ottoman rule.
