The total population is around 10,000 people, with a diverse ethnic and religious composition and a long tradition of peaceful coexistence.

The economy is based mainly on agriculture and mineral extraction.

The river valleys are deeply cut and form dramatic canyon-like landscapes, especially in the southern parts of the municipality.

The region is rich in rivers, forests and protected natural areas. The Beli Lom River, a right tributary of the Rusenski Lom, shapes much of the landscape with steep cliffs, meanders and rock formations. The area is known for its biodiversity and clean natural environment.

Historically, the territory has been inhabited since antiquity. Archaeological findings confirm the presence of Thracian, Roman and medieval settlements. The most significant remains include hilltop fortifications, rock dwellings and monastery complexes carved into the limestone cliffs.
