Your Devetaki, Krushuna & Lovech Private Tour

Start your adventure by visiting the iconic Expendables 2 movie scene at Devetaki Cave, which was also used as a food and petrol storage during the Cold War. This is the same cave where Bruce Willis, Dolf Lundgren, Jason Statham, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and other famous actors filmed the action-packed scenes. Next, we will explore the natural wonder of Krushuna Waterfalls, where you can wander through the stunning forest reserve along the stream that has formed a series of beautiful blue cascades. Continuing our journey, we will visit Lovech, a picturesque town protected by a massive fortress and home to two Bulgarian emperors, boasting a charming cobblestone old quarter known as Varosha and a covered wooden bridge designed by the renowned Bulgarian master Kolio Ficheto. To conclude the Devetaki and Kroshuna private tour, we will head to a lovely restaurant to enjoy a traditional Bulgarian meal, with the option to dine on a cozy wooden porch or under the shade of pine trees.

More details

Lovech Overview

Protected by a huge fortress, home of two Bulgarian emperors, Lovech can be considered as one of the most beautiful towns in the country. Small of size (only 35,000 citizens) but very old, Lovech will impress you with its cobblestone old quarter, called Varosha and its covered wooden bridge built by the greatest Bulgarian master Kolio Ficheto in the 19th century.

Inhabited from the late Neolithic period, Lovech is fortified for the first time by the Romans and eventually becаme a home town of two Bulgarian emperors – Ivan Alexander Asen and Ivan Sracimir, Bulgaria’s last medieval ruler. Sacked by the Ottomans in 1446, the town changed its cityscape in typical Oriental style, with streets full of craftsmen shops.

Today Lovech is one of the province centers of Bulgaria with very well preserved old quarter, where the history will overwhelm you from the fortification to the covered wooden bridge above Osam river. Close to the town there are the beautiful Devetashka cave and the Krushuna waterfalls, both impressive nature beauties.
