Kovachevitsa is an architectural reserve of Bulgaria. One of the few. Today I decided to show it to you through my lenses and see what richness and history it is all about. You know that our #Bulgaria hides extremely great reasons for pride and #Kovachevitsa is definitely one of them. The architectural value of the houses is enormous and you can still touch their history. If you want, you can try the local culinary specialties and feel the food there. Just to warn you - there is no takeaway food, the hosts cook incredible delicacies there. There are many guesthouses to stay at. Leshten and Kovachevitsa are located 8 kilometers from each other and can be reached in two ways, depending on which part of Bulgaria you come from.

We stop first in #Leshten, which is located on quite steep slopes overlooking the Pirin Mountains. We are at 900 meters above sea level, which is not small for the Rhodopes, but it is precisely this factor that allows mulberry, pine, oak and beech to grow here. If you're wondering why I'm telling you this, it's because in the past, many villages in the surrounding area used logging for their livelihood. During the Turkish slavery, there was no serious Ottoman administration here and that's why people could develop and build such beautiful houses. Without pressure, they have built sustainable societies and paid attention to progress, and it shows in their homes.
Architecture is the reason why most people visit Leshten. Although it is released quite late, the people here are awake and developing the area hard. Unlike Kovachevitsa, this village is NOT considered an architectural reserve, but it is nevertheless a place where you can immerse yourself in the revival spirit. The authentic houses of that time are very well maintained and are mostly two stories. They were made by Leshten craftsmen 200 years ago. Most of them have verandas, to put it modernly - covered terraces, which are typical of the architecture of this region.
I wish you a pleasant viewing of Skyscrapers from the PAST - Mysteries of Bulgaria - Kovachevitsa and Leshten.
