Discover Tabashka

Tabashka is located in the zone of Central Balkan National Park. The park’s sustainable tourism strategy should be taken into account in the future development of tourism in this part of the municipality. This planning direction complements the village’s geographical setting.

Culture in the Wider Region

The wider region offers a variety of cultural highlights. The Sevlievo Historical Museum holds nearly 50,000 objects covering archaeology, the Bulgarian National Revival, modern history, ethnography, and art. The Museum of Contemporary Art was established in 2017 in a listed building built as a school in 1885. The “Graphics” and “Painting” exhibition halls display works by contemporary Bulgarian artists.

Leatherworking is also part of the region’s heritage: the “Tabahana” exhibition presents its development and importance to Sevlievo and the surrounding area. The Batochevo Convent of the “Presentation of the Most Holy Mother of God” is in the center of the village of Batoshevo in Sevlievo Municipality, 16 kilometers from Sevlievo. It is accessible via a paved third-class road that is well maintained, though road conditions may change.

Another themed attraction is the Pumpkin Museum in the “Dandolovi Kashti” Ethnographic Complex in Sevlievo. It is run by the Sevlievo Historical Museum and was established in 2011 to collect memories and exhibits from the annual pumpkin festival held in autumn. The region’s cultural offerings thus span archaeology and art, as well as crafts and festival traditions.

Hotalich: Fortress and Open-Air Museum

After more than 45 years of archaeological research, the Early Byzantine and medieval fortress of Hotalich is considered an open-air museum. More than 900 meters of fortress walls have been excavated and conserved, and remain standing up to three meters high. The site has five gates, two of which are regarded as remarkable examples of medieval fortification.

Hotalich has picnic areas, ecological trails, and viewing platforms overlooking the Sevlievo Plain as far as Botev Peak. If you are planning a visit, check access locally. The remains of the walls, the gates, and the viewpoints each showcase different aspects of the site: archaeological finds, medieval fortifications, and views of the landscape.
