Samokov - Bulgaria's Natural and Historical Treasure
Samokov is a historic city in the Sofia region of Bulgaria, situated in the northern foothills of the Rila Mountains on the banks of the Bistritsa River, about 60 kilometers from the capital city of Sofia, and known as the "Gateway to Rila". This small town of natural beauty and cultural heritage was once an important center of craftsmanship during the Ottoman Empire, famous for its wood and bronze carvings and traditional carpet weaving, and still has ancient craft workshops and a folklore museum. Surrounded by the magnificent Rila Mountains, it is a skier's paradise in winter, and in summer it is perfect for hiking and exploring the waterfalls and forests of the Bistrica Gorge. Samokov is not only an ideal destination for experiencing Bulgaria's traditions and natural beauty, but also a unique window into the cultural charms of the Balkan mountains.
