Varosha - Lovech

The town of Lovech is surrounded by a 250 m high plateau, with almost vertical slope toward the East industrial zone. The plateau hill and the slopes are occupied by a forest park Stratesh, the south-west part of it is what now is known under the name of "Varosha". Along its steep slopes the architectural and historical Reserve of the same name is situated, situated between the hills of Hisarya and Bash Bunar. This is the most beautiful and magnificent part of the town.

Currently Varosha is the architectural reserve of the Bulgarian National Revival with extraordinary design resembling amphitheatre stuctures. It has preserved the long narrow winding streets of the medieval town. Most of the houses are only with two stories, having a stone basement, a rickety first floor with walls of fine timber. Two of the former seven churches are preserved till now - "Ouspenie Bogorodichno" (1834, with a amazing iconostasis) and "Sveta Nedelia" (1834). During the period from 1872 to 1874 the great Bulgarian master Kolio Ficheto had builded the famous covered bridge over Osum river - a stone construction with a wooden superstructure, having 64 shops in the nearby area. In 1925 the bridge is destroyed and then reconstructed in 1931.

Tourists may come in the area and visit the town and enjoy the beauty and peace of nature in this region. It is worth spending one’s free time relaxing and sightseeing. The area is also good for hiking, trekking, biking, tourism, etc.
