European route E80, also known as Trans-European Motorway or TEM, is an A-Class West-East European route connecting 10 countries and has a length of approximately 6,102 kilometres.
As the A1 motorway connecting Sofia with Turkey has been fully completed in the end of 2015 this short fraction from the E80 and all the surrounding infrastructures are in inevitable decline.
From the local ‘Kasar‘ yellow cheese sold all the way down the route are left only the self made adverts.
