Letos je zdejší počasí více extrémní než dříve, snad to nebude ještě horší. U nás padaly ledové květiny 4 cm velké, nadělaly dolíky na autech. Máte tak příjemně romantickou zahradu s domečkem a dřevníkem:-)!

Hi guys, I am so happy you are enjoying my country! I've watched a few videos from you and subscribed to your channel. You have an amazing property, the old house is gorgeous. Regarding the holes in the water: without being an expert on that topic, most likely these are made by the Thracians, thousands of years ago. It looks like a sacred spot, where they have performed their rituals. If you see rocks, water, and manmade niches in the rocks it will be safe to assume this is them. Bulgaria is full of such sites, and the Thracian history is mysterious and captivating. They have left us a rich heritage, a lot yet to be discovered. There is plenty of information on KZfaq (unfortunately most interesting one is only in Bulgarian). If you visit some of the historic sites (museums, tombs, and stone formations), you will not be disappointed, I promise. Here is some very basic info regarding the Thracian culture: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdidgcuB2cfUqWQ.html , kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fKd3mZpqs-CUYGw.html , kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bbyVpbOCstK5p4k.html The red and white threads is "Martenica" - a unique Bulgarian custom to celebrate the coming of the Spring: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hZ6hfdqZ28vckYk.html The sign on the door states: "Boiler Room" Cheers

@@antdicksexcellentadventure7651 I love the sign. A minor detail, it is probably not that important, but one tip from me: "котел стая" (kotel stayia) doesn't sound very natural in Bulgarian (like any Google translation). In Bulgarian, "котелно помещение" (kotelno pomeshtenie) will make more sense. Or just: "котелно" (kotelno). Another widespread (more on the slang side) name for that room would be: "Парно" (Parno). I hope to see more videos from you guys soon. Cheers!

Stone roofs in Bg are older than the Turkish tile roofs. So, if you visit Arbanasi village near Veliko Turnovo - some of the historical houses there are stone roofed, dating back to the 17-18th century.

The city of Velingrad (i.e. the City of Vela) was formed in 1948 by the merger of the three settlements: Ladzhene, Kamenitsa and Chepino, and bears the name of the communist partisan Vela Peeva (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vela_Peeva).

The village of Sarnitsa is very interesting: it's population consists of ethnic Bulgarians, but whose religion is Islam. They are called Pomaks. Sometime in the 15-16th century, the Ottomans got very ambitious and decided to convert the whole Bulgarian population into Islam. They started from the most Southern parts, of course. Some villages gave their lives and died Christian. A couple of villages agreed to convert to Islam and preserved their lives. So, they are ethnic Bulgarians, but Muslims. In the area where you live - high in the Balkan range, and far from the Sultan, they never saw much slaughtering as those people near Turkey.
