About this activity
Explore one of Bulgaria's best-preserved traditional villages on a private 4-hour walking tour through Zheravna, where natural springs shaped settlement patterns dating back to Roman times. Discover authentic architecture, Thracian artefacts, and mountain fortress ruins while learning how ancient communities thrived in this scenic valley.
People used to live in this scenic place since way back in time. The area is rich with cool, crystal clear water springs, which is a fundamental settling factor. The local history museum treasures coins dating back to II and III century AD, when the first local inhabitants, the Thracians, were living here under Roman government. One can also see a lot of preserved Thracian burial pottery and jewelery discovered through random excavation works. The ruins of a fortress found on a nearby hill called "Vida" also date back to the Roman era.
