Monday 30th August Sofia to Kazanlak (via Koprivshitsa)

Koprivshitsa

Needless to say we made a quick exit from the worst campsite ever and made our way to Kazanlak, on the way we stopped off at a mountain village called Koprivshitsa . Koprivshitsa is a traditional quaint village with cobbled stone pedestrian streets. Many of the properties had huge carved wooden gates like in the Maramures region of Romania and several of the more traditional affluent houses had been made into museums so we had a look around a few which was quite interesting. The next stop was another revolution town from 1878 when the ottomans were finally defeated, Klisura had as many monuments as people lol, we went looking for a campsite as the town was marked on our trusty map with a red triangle, but once again we were foiled! So that night we slept in a trucker’s car park and had dinner in their restaurant the food was surprisingly tasty and the portions were typical trucker size, Bek said we should eat in more trucker restaurants in future!
