Albums - Chiprovtsi (5 photos here)

Situated in the deepest and most virgin chest of the Northwestern Balkan, the little town of Chiprovtsi lives in its unique athmosphere.
It's a little, palm-size town, with white houses, perched along the sides of Stara Reka (Old River) and Martinovska Ogosta. A name, that shines in the historical memory of Bulgarian people, it has given to the Bulgarian history such sons as Petar Parchevitch, Petar Bogdan, Georgi Peiachevitch. A community, that fully makes use of the culture of the European Rennaisance and creates its famous Chiprovtsi craft-schools - jewellery, carpets, books.
