Zheravna
Zheravna is one of the most beautiful typical Bulgarian villages, pleasantly situated in the stunning Bulgarian nature. It will charm you with an atmosphere that only it possesses, with museum houses, taverns, and warm hospitable people. There plenty of things to see here – the Church of St. Nicholas, the collection of icons from the 16th and 17th centuries, and the Yordan Yovkov museum house, where you can discover the traditional style of the village. Also, there is the Rusi Chorbadzhi house, in which can be found a small collection of carpets, and the house of Sava Filaretov.
Walking tours of the region are also very nice because you have the opportunity to learn more about the nature in the area. There is great fish and game diversity, which is proven by the local specialty dishes in the taverns.
This village allows you to touch feel the hospitality and mountain spirit that permeates through its streets.
Many villages in the region, such as Ichera, Katunishte Gradets, Medven, and Kotel specialize in the production of carpets. We recommend a visit to the museum of carpets in the town of Kotel.
