This Web Site has been designed to reveal the natural, cultural and historical sights that are scattered around the Balkan Mountains in the area of the town of Troyan. It will show you the most beautiful parts of the region. Under its guidance you will have the chance of travelling along numerous forest routes on foot, by bicycle, on horse's back, with or without the help of a guide, and relishing the beauty of the edelweiss that grows in the mountains and which is known by the locals as "The Balkan Star". The Guide will usher you along roads and paths where you will have the chance of glimpsing a buck or a doe and, perhaps, even an eagle or another endangered species for which this area provides a natural habitat. It will tell you the story of this ancient land and escort you around the churches and the museums in the area. The Guide will also help you to choose a cosy place in which to stay and country taverns in which to have a delicious meal where you can sample the local dishes and the famous Troyanska plum brandy. It will be your loyal companion while you rest under the hundred-year-old beech trees or by one of the numerous mineral springs abundant in the region.
