Karlovo, historic town and home of Vasil (the Lion) Levski
Karlovo is an historic town and home to Vasil Levski, Bulgarian hero and the man responsible for the name of the Bulgarian currency....the Lev.
Karlovo lies on the northern route between Sofia and Burgas and is nestled at the foot of the Balkan mountains...'Stara Planina' to the Bulgarians. Karlovo is home to a daily market and has a laid back feel to it, with many cafes surrounding the main square and dotted around in the leafy shade of Karlovo's old town. The old town itself is well worth a visit to get a feel for how Bulgaria looked at the turn of the century...many of the narrow streets and renovation period houses still remain.

Вижте как почетоха Освобождението на Карлово
Ценни архивни документи и книги дари на Исторически музей – Карлово кметът на общината д-р Емил Кабаиванов. Дарението е по повод 138 годишнина от освобождението на Карлово от османско робство. Честването на годишнината започна в сградата на Историческия музей, където Кабаиванов връчи на директорът на музея Мария Деянова книга за Васил Левски от 1941 г. с писма, статии и песни издадени под редакцията на Стефан Каракостов; исторически очерк от 1949 г. с автор Никола Славчев, посветен на 100 годишнината от построяването на храм „Св. Николай” в Карлово и автентичен документ, датиран от 11 март 1918 г., с който се удостоверява създаването на Инициативен комитет за изграждане на железницата Карлово – Пловдив и подписан от видни карловци. Ценните архиви са откупени от него с лични средства от столични антиквари. Директорът Мария Деянова благодари на кмета за направения жест и му връчи грамота за дарителство.
Тържественото отбелязване на годишнината от Освобождението на Карлово продължи с поднасяне на цветя пред паметната плоча на Пулевата къща, където е бил щабът на освободителят ген. Павел Карцов. Мария Деянова представи пред присъстващите историческите факти и събития за паметната 1878 г. С тържествено шествие, съпровождано от военния духов оркестър на 61-ва Стрямска механизирана бригада, всички се отправиха към паметника на ген. Карцов, където се състоя военен церемониал. Венци и цветя бяха поднесени от кмета д-р Кабаиванов, председателя на Общинския съвет Теодор Шойлеков, зам.-областния управител Георги Пилев, бригаден генерал Груди Ангелов, общински съветници и граждани.

Vasil Levski National Museum
Vasil Levski`s Monument in Lovech,Bulgaria with Daniel Dmitrov
Bulgaria | Cultural Experience | S02 E05
In Episode 05 of Season 02 I take you on a cultural journey in Bulgaria. The aim of the trip was to explore natural beauty, old towns, culture and history.
The trip began at the Seven Rila Lakes, located in the Rila Mountains and situated between 2100 and 2500 meters above sea level. The lakes are a popular tourist destination which offers scenic hikes and incredible panoramic views.
I then headed to Plovdiv, the European Capital of Culture for 2019. Plovdiv is the second largest city in Bulgaria and is made up of the New Town and the more popular among tourists, Old Town. Old Town offers a vast amount of activities and landmarks which include museums, ancient amphitheater, old houses open to the public at a small cost and buzzing nightlife. One could also simply stroll and enjoy the cobbled streets surrounded by old architecture.
An hour South-West of Plovdiv is the small town, Batak. A town with vast history, including the Batak Massacre. In the center of town is a cathedral peaking over the old buildings. Next to the cathedral the small church where the Batak Massacre took place in 1876, led by Ottoman troops. As you enter the premises of the church you get a sense of sorrow and feel as if the souls of the thousands who were massacred still dwell around you. Inside on display are two large glass cabinets displaying the skulls and bones of some of the victims, some children. Bullet holes and traces of the fires are still visible on the inside.
Heading back up towards Plovdiv, I took a side trip to Perushtitsa, a small town half-way between Batak and Plovdiv. The main attractions are the Red Church remains, National History Museum and St Archangel Michael church, where yet another massacre took place during the Ottoman rule. What was very interesting is that the National History Museum is managed by the great granddaughter of Peter Bonev, a revolutionary who played an important role in the liberation. After showing around the museum, she took the liberty to take me to St Archangel Michael's church and explained the story behind the massacre as well as details of the attacks.
North of Plovdiv and under the Balkan Mountains is the town of Karlovo. This is the birth town of the Apostol of Freedom, Vasil Ivanov Kunchev (Vasil Levski). Pride in the national hero is displayed across the town in the form of street art. Close to the center of town is the birth home of Levski which is open to the public at a small fee. If you walked past the home, it is likely that you might miss it as it tends to blend in with the surroundings, so it is a good idea to use your navigation or ask the locals for directions to help you locate it.
Only a 10 minute drive West of Karlovo is the small town of Sopot. A charming old town known for its roses, pottery and birth home of famous Bulgarian poet, Ivan Vazov.
In the opposite direction, 20 minutes East of Karlovo is the town of Kalofer. The birth town of revolutionary poet, Hristo Botev. Yet another town with immense history and special charm.
Heading back to the capital city, Sofia, I spent a few days in what I believe is the most underrated old town in the travel industry, Koprivshtitsa. The town with its cobbled roads and houses dating back to the 1800s offers raw beauty and sense of peace. Apart from its charming feel, the town also holds a significant place in history. On 20 April 1876 the first gunshot was fired to mark the beginning of the uprising against the Ottoman Empire. This happened on what is now called, 'Most Purva Pushka', or directly translated to 'First Gun bridge'. The town also offers visitors the opportunity to visit some of the old homes and see how people lived in the 1800s. Enjoy a nice lunch at one of the local taverns or simply take a stroll and soak up the beauty that surrounds you.
