Toshevtsi air field (Bulgarian: Тошевци, also spelled as Toshevci or Toshevtzi) was an airfield 135 kilometers north of Sofia.
The airfield was built by the Bulgarian Socialist government, presumably in the 1970s. It was used for agricultural activities, a.k.a. 'cropdusting'.
It consisted of a small runway and a small platform to the north of the runway.


No photos of the airfield while in use have been located

The airfield fell into disuse after Eastern Block countries faced severe economic challenges after the Cold War ended. In aerial photography from 2013 debris (sand piles?) can be seen north of the airfields runway, spilling over the platform.  


The airfield appeared more or less intact in aerial photography in 2013 (Google Earth)
