Description

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 in 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. Today Lovech is one of the provincial centers of Bulgaria with a very well preserved old quarter, where the history will overwhelm you from the fortification to the covered wooden bridge above Osam river. The tour starts at 9:00 AM from your hotel/accommodation in Sofia. After two hours' drive, reach the town center of Lovech. Spend two hours visiting the old quarter, the covered wooden bridge, the fortification and the museum of Vassil Levski, Bulgaria's most famous revolutionary hero. At the end of the tour, head to a lovely restaurant and enjoy some typical Bulgarian meals. Have your lunch at the lovely wooden porch or on a table under the pine trees. Close to the town are the beautiful Devetashka cave and the Krushuna waterfalls, both impressive natural sights. You can walk through the beautiful forest and along the stream that has formed a cascade of blue waterfalls. On this tour you will be able to choose one of these sights or to visit Troyan monastery, Bulgaria's third largest monastery in the nearby town of Troyan.
