Koprivshtitsa Nestled in the heart of the Sredna Gora Mountains, the town of Koprivshtitsa played a key role in the great uprising against Ottoman rule at the end of the 19th century. A number of renowned Bulgarians were born here. Their homes have been preserved as museum houses and six of these can be visited on a wander through its cobbled streets. Many of the lovely old houses are now small, family-run hotels and restaurants. The restaurants are Bulgarian tavern style and serve traditional Bulgarian home cooking. Every five years Koprivshtitsa plays host to one of the biggest folk festivals in the Balkan region.
