"O, Dobrudzhanski Kray" (Bulgarian: О, Добруджански край), also referred to as, "Oh Dobroudja Land," is a Bulgarian military march composed in 1914 by Aleksander Kratsev and written by poet Lyubomir Bobevski. The piece was popular across Bulgaria until it was banned following the 1944 Bulgarian coup d'état.^[1] Today, the song serves as the anthem for the municipalities of Dobrich^[2] and Tervel.^[3]

A monument to the march was opened in Kavarna in 2007 in the form of an open marble book. The lyrics to the march were inscribed on the book in Bulgarian and English.^[4]
