Southern Dobruja, also romanized as Dobrudja, Dobrudza and Dobrudzha among other spellings (Bulgarian: Добруджа) is a Bulgarian region, a part of the greater Dobrudja area located in both Bulgaria and Romania. The region is located in the Bulgarian Northeast, on the eastern part of the Danubian Plain, between the rest of North Bulgaria to the west, the Balkan to the south and the Black Sea Coast to the east. To the north, its boundary is drawn by the Danube river and the international border that separates the region from Northern Dobruja in Romania.
