Razgrad Region is situated in the northeastern part of the Danubian Plain, in a plain and hilly area. It is bounded by the regions of Ruse, Silistra, Shumen and Turgovishte. Razgrad Region is close to the Danube River, the larger part of the region being in the Ludogorsko Plateau. The region is poor in water resources. The only large river is the Beli (White) Lom, which divides the region in two – the northern part and the southern part. The international road Ruse-Varna passes across the region as well as the Ruse-Varna railroad the first railway built in Bulgaria. There are about 1,200 stationary cultural monuments in the region, which, along with the thousands of items and documents, illustrate the rich material and spiritual culture of the tribes and peoples who have been living in the Ludogorie throughout the millennia. The archaeological reserve of Sboryanovo is in this area, having been a cult and religious center of several religions from antiquity to present time.

Vestiges of ancient and medieval settlements and fortresses have been found in other places of the region as well.
