Abstract: The study of the terrain of the pastures leads to significant benefits for the conditions of livestock rearing. The main indicator of the cultivation method is the slope of the pasture terrain. The present study presents data on the slope of a selected pasture in the Republic of Bulgaria. The pasture is mountainous, located in the Rhodope Mountains. The results show high values of the studied indicator, which does not affect the overall free breeding of livestock in this region. The conducted research includes a comparison of the slope in three consecutive years from 2021 to 2023. The goal is to evaluate the possible changes that occur in upland grasslands as a result of natural processes.
