I'm going to say Bulgaria, because think about it, Krum played for the Bulgarian Quidditch team.

Hmmmm......Yeah but then again the Bulgarians could recruit from anywhere, and we don't know what countries get into Durmstrang........hmmmmmm thanks Erik

you may have already seen this, but here is an interesting little editorial on Mugglenet trying to pinpoint where Durmstrang is:

I like the idea of it being in Norway....Vikings! (I had always thought Bulgaria until I read the above editorial, but it is very convincing & I'm going with Norway now).

[Silas Emery]

Hmmmm I had not read that so thank you Morgie .......I always thought it was somewhere further north then Bulgaria because of the names, and the outfits (of the movie) seemed to put it in a Russia like area......The article has significantly helped and given me another perspective

Ooooo yeah! I just read that and Norway totally has my vote now!

[sophie]

I have not read it, but I voted anyway! Just the impression I got from reading the books, I always assumed it would be in very north Siberia (Russia). It always made sense to me... It was a very cold climate, it was remote enough to hide a sprawling wizarding school from the prying eyes of muggles... So that's where I say! Russia!

*Coughs and sneezes* Yes well. Seemingly as Dimitri went to Durmstrang. I have done quite the research on it. Though it would appear that with that nifty little link that Norway would be ideal... I am really agreeing with Morgie in a sense. However, the link does say a few things it would not necessarily mean that the school is located in Norway. Because of the waterways it would easily be located in Russia. It is just likely that while Hogwarts has "jurisdiction" over England and such for students, Durmstrang would as well. Though I'm not quite sure about it reaching as far as Bulgaria when there isn't a great deal of direct access to Norway. Russia is likely and quite frankly I believe it is located probably in Norway or Russia. Just my two cents.

I'm glad you added your two cents dimi ......I was hoping you would since you have a charie that went to Durmstrang during my studying ;D I also ended with Norway or Russia......or possibly a unplottable island between them
