Karlovo, Plovdiv province
Karlovo is all about Vasil Levski — famous Bulgarian revolutionary and freedom fighter. Monuments, museums, memorable plaques on the many houses in the old town… It is alone worth the visit, but Karlovo (like many other places at the Southern foothills of the Balkan mountains) is also about the natural reserves, breathtaking scenery and mountain trails. There are so many of them here Karlovo (and the neighboring town of Sopot) will be the perfect weekend destination for years ahead.
