Kovatchevica is a small fascinating village in the Rodopi Mountain in Bulgaria. It is also one of the architectural reserves in the country because of its special way of building. The village kept its authenticity. Houses are built mostly of stones, including the roofs.Only the higher houses have last floor of wood. It is situated high in the mountain and has special history. When Bulgaria was under the slavery by the Turkey many Bulgarians who want to keep their faith and don't want to accept the Islam, left their homes and relatives searching for salvation in the unapproachable parts of the mountain and many of the favourable conditions were the main reasons for rising the village. The nature around it is so pattern and fascinating during the 4 seasons in the year.Kovatchevica is a calm beautiful place for relaxing and contacting with the nature.
Totally agree. The village is in the heart of Rhodope Mountains and can be one of the highlights of a hiking trip in Rhodopes.
