Pleven Region encompasses the central part of the Danube Plain and a section of the fore-Balkan Mountains. It is bounded by the regions of Vratza, Lovech and Veliko Tarnovo and north by the Danube River.

Pleven district is a well-developed agricultural region. There are deposits of natural oil and gas near the town of Dolni Dubnik and the village of Gigen. The most important water resources in the region are the Danube River and its tributaries, the Iskar, the Vit and the Osam rivers. The region provides excellent conditions for ecotourism and balneological tourism.

Life in the region can be traced for several millennia back into the past: remains from the Paleolithic Age near the village of Muselievo; remains from the Chalcolithic Age near the villages of Telish and Todorovo; the Romans constructed roads, roadside transit stations and fortresses throughout the region; the ruins of the ancient Roman fortress of Ulpia Escus near Gigen and Tsar Shishman`s Fortress in Nikopol.

The largest Thracian treasure dated back to the 16-12th centuries BC was discovered in 1925, in the vicinity of the village of Vulchitrun. It consists of 13 vessels of solid gold and weights a total of 12.45 kg. A copy of the artifacts can be seen in the History Museum in Pleven, the original artifacts are kept at the National Archeological Museum in Sofia.
