Weekend destinations in Bulgaria: Kovachevitsa

If you are tired of staying in the city every weekend, you can always jump in your car and have an amazing road trip in Bulgaria. One of our suggestions is the amazing village of Kovatchecitsa. It is best combined with Leshten, which is about 15 min away by car.

 

The village of Kovacheitsa is a historical and architectural reservation since 1977. It is most famous for its old well-preserved houses some of which are hundreds of years old. The village was never under Ottoman administration and was a center for revolutionary movements in the 19th century. 

How to get there: 

It's a 3-3.30h drive from Sofia. It's best to take the highway to Blagoevgrad and then the main road to Gotse Delchev. 

TIP: The road ends at the beginning of the village.When arriving it's best to leave your car before the barrier of the reservation and just walk. 

Where to eat:

There are a few places where you can find great food, but for the full tourist experience, we recommend Bratiata restaurant (Кръчма Братята). The food was delicious, the interior was authentic and it has a great summer garden.
