Mezdra, Bulgaria Season 2 Video 2
Seven thousand years of history can be seen at the fortress located at Mezdra, Bulgaria. Archaeological finds from the prehistoric layers at Mezdra show specialized craftsmen workshops that functioned until the end of the 5th millenium BC.
A prehistoric shrine was found three meters below the present surface of the central section of Mezdra. Two large auroch skulls and a stone shaped like a bulls head were found which makes it a unique find in Europe.
During the 3rd century a large shrine complex and temple was founded at Mezdra. By the 4th century the pagan temple ceased to exist and the fortifications were renovated. In the 6th century a number of structures were built divided by narrow streets.
A proto-Bulgarian fortress existed on the site between the 12th and 14th centuries. The fortification was destroyed and abandoned after the Ottoman invasion.

Национальный Пещереный Дом Петър Трантеев. Плато Карлуково. 100 туристических объектов Болгарии ????????
Национальный пещерный дом «Петр Трантеев» построен в 1981 году на известняковой скале в районе Калето, в 12 км от Луковита и в 2 км от железной дороги. Карлуково железнодорожная станция линия София-Мездра-Варна в ущелье Искыр. Построенный для нужд научно-исследовательской деятельности в области спелеологии на карстовом плато Карлуково, богатом пещерами, ущельями и воронками, он впоследствии превратился в базу для массового туризма.
Расположение и положение хижины оставляет у обитателей впечатление, что они находятся среди облаков. Полностью отремонтирован в 2012 году. Дом-пещера готов принять любого, кто решит на мгновение оторваться от повседневности и перенестись в другой мир... туда, под «Глаза Бога». Путь, начинающийся от пещерного дома, ведет к большому входу в пещеру.
Здание Пещерного дома уникально своим расположением — оно построено в расщелине скалы, а его форма, если смотреть сверху, напоминает летучую мышь. Для части стен использовался природный камень. Из Пещерного дома открывается вид на долину реки Искар, а также на пещеру Проходна.

Amazing Historic Tryavna, Bulgaria: Bulgarian Road Trip Series Part 3
Tryavna is a quaint little village with churches, bell towers, and old bridges. It was nice to see a Bulgarian small town and feel the different pace of life and marvel at how well the city has preserved the old ways of life.
We probably would have never gone to Tryavna had we not rented a car. Seeing more of this beautiful country has been worth the Thunderdome experience that is driving in Bulgaria.
This is part 3 of our Bulgarian Road Trip Series. Check out the rest!

4K Town of Sredets from above
#DiscoverBulgaria #Sredets #aerial #Bulgaria #travel
Sredets (Bulgarian: Средец [srɛˈdɛt͡s]) is a town in Burgas Province in southeastern Bulgaria. It is located near Lake Mandrensko and the northern slopes of Strandzha. Sredets is the administrative centre of Sredets Municipality.
Sredets Point on Smith Island, Antarctica is named after the town.
The Roman fortress of Kaleto, located 2 km southwest of Sredets, was constructed at the end of the fifth and beginning of sixth century AD. Under the First Bulgarian Empire, the fortress became known as Potamukastel (Bulgarian: Потамукастел). Potamukastel was destroyed in the 11th century, but later rebuilt in the 12th century AD. The fortress was abandoned during Ottoman rule of Bulgaria, and the population of Potamukastel resettled at the location of the modern town and founded the village of Karabunar (Bulgarian: Карабунар) (black well in Turkish).
Karabunar is first mentioned in 1595, and is later found in Ottoman tax registers from 1676–1731. King Charles XII of Sweden is known to have stayed overnight in the village in 1713 en route to Constantinople and St. Sophronius of Vratsa worked as a teacher in Karabunar in 1792–1793. Russian Army data from 1827 mentions it as a purely Bulgarian village and it was visited by Vasil Levski in 1868. During the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–78, the area was occupied by the Russian 93rd Irkutsk Infantry Regiment on 16 February 1878. Karabunar became part of the autonomous province of Eastern Rumelia after the war and was annexed by the Principality of Bulgaria in 1885.
The village was renamed Sredets on 14 August 1934. Under Communist rule, the village was renamed Grudovo on 1 June 1950 in honour of Todor Grudov, a leader of the Communist September Uprising of 1923 and former mayor of the village. Grudovo was granted the status of town on 6 February 1960 and, following the fall of Communism in Bulgaria, on 23 January 1993, the town was renamed Sredets.
