== History == Tonzos river valley (now Tundzha) was inhabited by Thracian tribes in the Bronze and Iron Age. The especially favourable location, which attracted settlers as early as the Stone-Copper Age, is the bight Tonzos, around the last hill Zaychi vrah of the Sredna Gora mountain range. It is where the river changes its flow from the east to south, towards "Uskudama, Adrianopolis"(modern-day Edirne). On its way to Aegean Sea, the river merges with the rivers Maritsa and Arda. At the end of the II mil. at the foot of the tip, is formed the city of Kabile - a part of the Roman province of Thrace. Under the Avary's attacks the city was destroyed during the 6th century.
