Kaymakchalan (Kaimaktsalan) Battlefeild (StreetView)
The battlefield can be found on Profitis Ilias – Kaimaktsalan a mountain in modern day Greece.

The Battle of Kaymakchalan was fought during WWI between Serbian and Bulgarian forces on the Macedonian Front.

The battle raged between 12 and 30 September 1916. The result of the battle was that Serbian forces managed to capture the peak of Prophet Elijah.

Strategically the battle was not a huge Allied success as the upcoming winter prevented further military engagements.

Today there is a small Serbian built Orthodox Church dedicated to the Saint Peter on the summit of the mountain.
