Lovech and Krushunski Waterfalls Tour from Sofia

Lovech is one of the oldest settled places in Bulgaria. During the Medieval times the town was an important military strategic center. During the 12th century Lovech was spread at the right bank of the Osum River where the quarter of Varosha – the architecture historical reserve is situated now. Later on, after the country fell under Ottoman Rule, during the years of the national liberation movement Lovech turned into the revolutionary capital of Bulgaria. The most popular Bulgarian hero Vassil Levski established a revolutionary headquarter in the town. You will visit the Ethnographical Museum- comprised of two mid-19th-century buildings with exhibits attesting to traditional Bulgarian life and customs, plus period furniture. Hisar Fortress- one of Bulgaria's few remaining Ottoman citadels overlooks Lovech from a steep hill; Covered Bridge- the only such structure in the Balkans. Afterwards you will head towards Krushunski Waterfalls- one of the most attractive landmarks of the country. There is an eco-path, which includes more than 15 bridges, located in the picturesque area.
