Koprivshtitsa Overview

Koprivshtitsa (from the Bulgarian word kopriva, meaning “nettle”) is a historic town in Sofia Province, central Bulgaria, lying on the Topolnitsa River among the Sredna Gora mountains. It was the heart of the April Uprising in 1876 and is known for its authentic Bulgarian architecture and for its folk music festivals. Koprivshtitsa is one of the charming historic Bulgarian towns, still preserving the atmosphere of the Bulgarian National Revival period of the 19th century.

 

The town is huddled in the mountain folds 120 km east of Sofia. The town boasts 383 architectural monuments from the period, most of them restored to their original appearance. Collections of ethnographic treasures, old weapons, National Revival works of art, fine fretwork, household weaves and embroidery, national costumes and typical Bulgarian jewelry have also been preserved. It was here that the first shot of the April Uprising against the Ottoman Occupation was fired in 1876.

Ми їздили до міста Пловдів та фортеці Асен. Все сподобалось, комфортний був. Дякуємо нашому водію та гіду Філіпу - супроводжував протягом всієї подорожі, цікаво розповідав про місця, які відвідували та про історію Болгарії. Рекомендую!

Je recommande cette expérience qui n’aurait pas été la même sans notre chauffeur. Pas une minute pour s’ennuyer. Il nous a raconté de nombreuses anecdotes. J’ai absolument apprécié cette escapade à Skopje. Je ne sais pas si j’aurais tenté cette aventure seul depuis Sofia. Je la conseille vivement avec Vtravel pour qui viendrait visiter la Bulgarie pour une semaine. Du fond du cœur, merci pour tout. Благодаря за всички.
