The great beauty of Bulgaria: Koprivshtitsa | Дивната красота на България: Копривщица
Welcome to my official YouTube channel and thank you for your time!
Wondering throughout our majestic Bulgaria I have seen pictures that stopped my breath and gave me exciting and emotional goosebumps. A sensation feeling!
Gradually, this feeling generated in me a passion to capture the sensation and to show it to You.
So, there it is.
I am travelling with my family, my good mood and my smartphone.
Koprivshtitsa is one of the most characteristic Bulgarian towns, still preserving the atmosphere of the Bulgarian National Revival period of the 19th century.
It is located in the Sashtinska Sredna Gora, in a beautiful valley, covered with lush green grass, watered by several small streams, perfect resting point for caravans, travelers and traders and all around the town you will see beautiful panoramic views.
The town boasts a large number of architectural monuments from the period, most of which have been restored to their original appearance. Collections of ethnographical treasures, old weapons, National Revival works of art, fine fretwork, household weaves and embroidery, national costumes and typical Bulgarian jewelry have also been preserved. It was here that the first shot of the April Uprising against the Ottoman domination was fired in 1876.
Lyuben Karavelov is a Bulgarian poet, writer, encyclopedist, journalist, ethnographer; a national hero, a fighter for the liberation of Bulgaria from the Ottoman rule. The elder brother of influential post-liberation politician Petko Karavelov. The two brothers go down in history as people who had dedicated their whole lives to Bulgaria.
A cobblestone path leads from the main gate to a pretty yard garden huddled among three houses which took 25 years for local master-builders to erect. The three buildings form a an intriguing architectural ensemble. The oldest house was build in 1810 and was called The Winter House. Both Lyuben Karavelov and Petko Karavelov were born here.
The second building, completed in 1820, was the storehouse where the family prepared and stored the famous Koprivshtitsa “sudjuk “and “lukanka” (typical Bulgarian flat sausages with spices). The pine trough where they prepared the meat for the sausages is now a museum exhibit displayed in the yard for visitors to see.
The last to be built was The Summer House where the family lived during the warm months in the year.
The printing press, bought in 1871 from the Serbian National Printing House, is a very interesting exhibit. It was used by Bulgarian revolutionary heros Karavelov, Botev, and Levski to print revolutionary newspapers during the liberation efforts and after Bulgaria received its freedom the First Bulgarian Constitution (the Veliko Turnovo Constitution) was printed on it.

This is the true beauty of Bulgaria!

Архитектурно-исторически резерват - град Копривщица
Архитектурно-исторически резерват -- град Копривщица (25)
Копривщица, 2016 / Хубава си моя горо
© All rights reserved to their respective owners.
Копривщица / Koprivshtica is a birthplace of many bright representatives of Bulgarian Renaissance, as well а town museum and architectural reserve.
Хубава си, моя горо / You're beautiful, my forest - a poem by Lyuben Karavelov [1834 - 1879], born in Koprivshtica, Bulgarian poet, writer, polymath, journalist, ethnographer; national hero, fighter for the liberation of Bulgaria from Ottoman rule. The poem is written in exile and reflects the nostalgia of the author to his native countryside. Music to the text was written by the composer Georgi Goranov [1882 - 1905]. This song is seen as an unofficial anthem of the city of Koprivshtica.
Хубава си, моя горо,
миришеш на младост,
но вселяваш в сърцата ни
само скръб и жалост.
Който веднъж те погледне,
той вечно жалее,
че не може под твоите
сенки да изтлее.
``````````````````````````````````
А комуто стане нужда
веч да те остави,
той не може, дорде е жив,
да те заборави.
......................................................
Знание, г. I, кн. 9, 15 май 1875
An approximate translation by me because Google makes it awfully
Beautiful you are, my forest, you smell of youth,
but you fill our hearts only with sorrow and pity.
Who once takes a look at you, he always regrets
that he cannot disappear under yours shadows.
And who is forced one day to leave you,
he can't forget you while he's alive.
