Kaliakra is a cape in the Southern Dobruja region of the northern Bulgarian Black Sea Coast,which ends with a long and narrow headland 12 kilometres east of Kavarna,60 kilometres northeast of Varna and 65 kilometres southwest of Mangalia. The coast is steep with vertical cliffs reaching 70 metres down to the sea. Kaliakra is a nature reserve,where dolphins and cormorants can be observed. It sits on the Via Pontica,a major bird migration route from Africa into Eastern and Northern Europe. Many rare and migrant birds can be seen here in spring and autumn and,like much of this coastline,is home to several rare breeding birds. The rest of the reserve also has unusual breeding birds saker falcon,lesser grey shrike and a host of others.
