Nedelkyova Chuka (1,253 m) is a peak in the Ruy mountain, on the border with Serbia, about 1.7 km south-west of Voynova Glava and about 11.5 km north-west of Tran.
Ruy is the northern rim of the Tran basin. The peak stands on the border line, north-west of Pogledets peak; a stretch of the border with Serbia follows the crest of the mountain.
Ruy is a massive, block-type mountain with a flat crest at 1,600–1,700 m and steep southern slopes. It is covered in mixed broadleaf forest of beech, oak and hornbeam, with wide pastures along the crest. According to Vasil Mikov, the mountain is named after the Latin name of the smoke tree (Rhus cotinus), which grows widely here. We found no waymarked route to the summit itself in the sources.
