Bulgaria it's about a stone's throw away from the town I grew up in, the town who was my home until I was 18 and left for college. Right on the shore of Danube which is the border between the two states, on our side, it's a chemical factory. In those days it worked at full capacity, now just a few units. This is the point where we used to go and where we go now, when we are coming back and visit the town, to see the Danube and more far, to see Bulgaria on the other side. Back then, when I was a child, there was a story of how we had to pay a fine to Bulgarians because the pollution from our chemical factory destroyed their roses plantation. I still don't know if this is true.
It's strange how I didn't visit Bulgaria (except for very short trips or one time when transiting it while going to another destination) until now.
We've crossed the border from Giurgiu to Ruse and headed to Lyaskovets, the small town where we had a room. The guest house is a house from 1871 beautifully restored by its owners. It has everything a guest would want and more. The accommodation is impeccable, so are the donuts served together with breakfast :)
The room we've stayed in has a special shelf above the door full with books. There is also a common room transformed in library. These were wonderful surprises! You have plenty to read when you're back from visiting.
In 2 days we managed to see only Tryavna, Arbanasi and Veliko Tarnovo. So, we'll gladly come back!
Today I'll show you a little bit of Tryavna.
They say that Tryavna is Bulgaria's little Prague. Well, I've never been to Prague, but if Prague it's a larger Tryavna, that's ok with me because I loved it. We had just a few hours to visit, so we've decided to walk the streets to see as much as possible and discover ourselves the touristic objectives. The first thing that hit me – of course, it’s just a figure of speech – it was the roofs made of rocks. A small river crosses the town and the bridge itself it’s an attraction. Other landmarks are the clock tower and St. Archangel Mihael Church. Although it’s a touristic town, the streets were quiet and very nice to wander.
