Село Чавдар - eдно от най-красивите в България / The magical Chavdar Village in Bulgaria

Чавдар е село в Западна България. То е център и единствено населено място в Община Чавдар, Софийска област. До 1899 година селото се казва Коланларе, след което е преименувано на Радославово. От 5 януари 1946 година носи името Чавдар.

Още в праисторията тези места са заселени от хората. Те разполагат къщите си в близост до река Тополница, откъдето черпели необходимата им за битови нужди вода. В селищната могила край р. Тополница е открито многослойното раннонеолитно селище Чавдар изохронно на Караново I и II – 6200 г. пр. Хр. с каменни оръдия на труда и уникална рисуваната керамика[1][2] То и подобното в Кремиковци определят „Ранно неолитната култура Кремиковци–Чавдар“ – най-ранната неолитна култура в Софийското поле и в Подбалканската котловина изиграла съществена роля в изграждане на праисторическата периодизация[3]. По време на разкопки е открит и меч от селото от IV век пр. Хр., Намерени са и множество глинени съдове и монети от по-късни епохи. Находките се съхраняват в Археологическия институт с музей при БАН в София и в историческия музей в гр. Пирдоп.

Chavdar (Bulgarian: Чавдар, pronounced [t͡ʃɐvˈdar]) is a village situated in a mountain region, in the eastern part of Sofia Province, Bulgaria.

It is the administrative center of Chavdar Municipality. The municipality is located in the sub-Balkan Zlatitsa-Pirdop Basin. It consists of only one village, namely the village of Chavdar. The municipality is one of the smallest in Bulgaria, situated at the southern outskirts of the Balkan Mountains, and on the northern foothills of Sredna Gora mountain. It is located about 72 km (45 miles) east of Sofia, the capital city of Bulgaria. Close by are the cities of Zlatitsa and Pirdop.
The village got famous lately for becoming one of the most beautiful and modern Bulgarian villages, thanks to the efforts of its mayor and residents.
Prehistoric time
Ever since prehistoric times the land of present time Chavdar has been populated by people. Archaeological excavations of a settlement mound near the Topolnitsa River show that a Neolithic community has been present as early as 7,000 years ago.

The study of Neolithic culture Chavdar began in May 1968. Professor Georgi Georgiev and Senior Researcher Kancho Kanchev, both with the National Archaeological Museum of Bulgaria were leading the efforts through the years to uncover the hidden artifacts. Team of British archeologists were also involved in the archeological dig. Stratigraphic coring results confirmed the presence of seven cultural layers. By 1980 the site was fully explored.

Neolithic Chavdar Culture, polychromatic and anthropomorphic pottery, 6200-5400 B.C., Bulgaria
Early Neolithic village of Chavdar is isochronous to Karanovo I and II Neolithic sites which are dated about 6200 BC. The artifact findings are also similar to Kremikovtsi Neolithic village findings. Early Neolithic culture Kremikovtsi—Chavdar is the earliest Neolithic culture in the Sofia Plain and the sub-Balkan Basin. This culture artifacts have played important role in periodization of the prehistoric time in Bulgaria and the region.

The Neolithic settlement mound consisted of pile dwellings along the Topolnitsa River. Extremely valuable Neolithic painted pottery and stone tools have been found. A sword dated back to 4th century B.C. is also among the artifacts. Other findings include pottery and coins dated to different time in history. All artifacts were made available to specialists for further studies. Now all the findings are in the exhibitions of the Bulgarian National Archaeological Museum (Capital Sofia), and the local historical museum (City of Pirdop).

Medieval Time
According to Dobreyshovo Gospels (first quarter of the 13th century), a village named Markovo has been situated east of the present day village site in a location called Kyoidere.

The first written evidence of the present day village of Chavdar are found in the Ottoman Nikopol District Tax Register dating back to 1430. The village of Chavdar can be found under the name Kolanlar[e] listing 29 taxpayers.

Present Time

Chavdar Village Hall
The village of Chavdar was known as Kolanlare until 1899 when the village inhabitants named their village Radoslavovo after the name of the Bulgarian Liberal Party (Radoslavists) leader at the time Dr. Vasil Radoslavov, a long-time politician, member of parliament, minister in various capacities, and prime minister of Bulgaria.

Legend has it, while visiting the village, sitting at the banks of Topolnitsa River, Dr. Radoslavov has said: If there is a paradise upon Earth, it is here in Bulgaria. If there is a paradise in Bulgaria, it is here [in Chavdar]. Drone

Velingrad - the Spa heaven of the Rhodopes, filmed with a drone

Locations: and


This here is the beautiful mountain town called Velingrad, it is one of the most famous places to go on a Spa hotel, as it combines both hot mineral spring and beautiful mountains. Velingrad is situated in a valley high in the Rhodope mountain. Through the city passes the only functioning, commercial narrow-gauge railway line in the country. The narrow rails pass the whole Rhodope mountains starting from the Septemvri town, passing through Velingrad and continuing its road all the way surpassing Rila’s slopes, passing through the Ski resort towns of Bansko and Razlog and ending up in Dobrinishte in the outskirts of Pirin mountain. Velingrad has formed as a union of the three villages Kamenitsa, Ladzhene and Chepino and has over 90 hot mineral springs, which is why the city has become a tourist resort with over 100 hotels. In the second part of the video we visit the scenic lake Kleptuza, which has formed from a natural phenomenon – the biggest karts spring in the country. The lake is popular leisure location, with its greenery and restaurants and the famous paddle boats, which are adored by visitors and traverse the small lake under the willows. Right near the derelict former restaurant building is a small but pretty waterfall.

Technical University Sofia - School's out for summer! - filmed with a drone

Location:

I had a long break from flying around due to technical issues with my remote following the heavy rain that hit us in Vienna, but after a visit to the repair shop all is working fine and we are ready for new adventures. I visited this special for me place to show you where I got my engineering degree more than a decade ago. A place, where I met many people and had some great time roaming the blocks. This is the Technical University of Sofia. It is on the edge of the so called Student’s town, which is a district that has changed incredibly during the years until my graduation, but the TU Sofia itself has virtually not changed at all. This is fine for me as I’m reliving my memories very closely. In this flight we see the whole technical university with its 1, 2, 3, 4, and 12 blocks near us and being most prominent in the movie. But this place is not the home only of the Technical university – we can also see the Chemical technology and Metallurgy University, the University of Forestry and the Mining and Geology University all in this little flight. Quite an academic location. Also the closes to my heart dorms of the TU, the four unpretentious buildings, in which I spend my student years and partied with so many friends.

Hotel Marinela, and the rest of upper west-side Lozenets, filmed with a drone

Location:

Weather hasn’t been quite conducive to flying around – it’s either too cold, either too wet, either too foggy. This day things brightened up a bit and I had to seize the opportunity, despite the air quality was questionable and somewhat tarnished the scenery. This video is in the series of high prominent Sofia buildings, having a look at a famous hotel and the adjacent future giant, currently under construction. The hotel is called “Marinela Sofia”, but through the years it has been renamed numerous times. Built in 1979 by Japanese architects and it 98m high. It was named Vitosha New Otani. This is why until now it is often referred to as the Japanese hotel. After that it was sold and renamed Kempinski Hotel – Zografski. Its latest transformation is into its current name – Marinela Sofia, named after the wife of the owner (romantic, eh?). The construction going on within just meters from the hotel is the infamous “Zlaten Vek” (Golden age) skyscraper, which was an article of many controversies in the last year, related with alleged corruption. The scandals are still undergoing, but the construction seems to be active and it promises to produce a 120 meters high luxurious apartment block. Between both giants there is a cozy little garden, which I used for my launching pad. The garden is home of the little church named “Exaltation of the Holy Cross”. Speaking of crosses, nearby is the Red Cross building, which seems to be sandwiched between two office buildings the “Hill tower” and the “Hill” hotel. The place seems to be promising for high rise buildings as another one on the other side of the boulevard is being built – the “Energoremont” building is actually an old one, but seems to be going a major reconstruction. In the distance we can also spot the USA embassy, which itself would be an interesting flight, but i'll not dare do any flying around it as I don't want to get alleged with any shady activities by the Americans. All around us is the Lozenetz district, which promises to become even more upscale.

🥾 hut Paskal to hut Planinski izvori ⛰️ Central Balkan multi-day trek PART 2️⃣ FULL WALKTHROUGH POV

🥾 hut Paskal to hut Planinski izvori ⛰️ Central Balkan multi-day trek PART 2️⃣ FULL WALKTHROUGH POV

One of the most beautiful and picturesque parts of the mountain Stara planina - the national park Central Balkan. This is my second multi-day trek here - on June 19th 2023 I started a 4 day adventure. In this second part of the adventure I start at hut Paskal and I climb up to the main ridge of the mountain - peak Kositsa (2000m). From there I take the red mark E3 route to the east to reach the non-functioning hut Planinski izvori. I stop for lunch break and I continue in the next vlog.

СЕЛО ДОБЪРСКО

На 15 км от град Разлог, в южната част на Рила планина се намира старото село Добърско. Най-популярната туристическа забележителност в селото е християнският храм „Св. св. Теодор Тирон и Теодор Стратилат”, построен през 1614 г.

Църквата привлича вниманието с изключително ценните си стенописи и икони, които се отличават с голямо майсторство и с използването на нетрадиционни мотиви. Необичайните похвати, използвани от зографите, са причина някои хора да виждат в изографисаните стени изображение на Иисус Христос в космически кораб.

Доказателство за високата стойност на стенописите и иконите е и фактът, че двете олтарни икони на Исус Христос и патроните на църквата са обиколили света като част от изложбата Българско средновековно културно наследство. Характерна особеност представлява наличието на най-много женски образи в сравнение с другите български църкви, както и преобладаващите надписи на български език.

Beautiful Koprivshtitsa, Bulgaria/ Обаянието на Копривщица, България

Намира се в близост до градовете Пирдоп, Клисура, Стрелча и Панагюрище. Градът е център и единствено населено място в община Копривщица. Песента „Хубава си, моя горо“ с текст от Любен Каравелов и музика на Георги Горанов се възприема като неофициален химн на града.
Копривщица се намира на 12 km от Подбалканския път, източно от София (на 110 km) и от Пирдоп (на 24 km), северно от Пловдив (90 km) и Стрелча (22 km). Градът е разположен в живописната долина по течението на река Тополница, в планински район, централна част на Същинска Средна гора.
Според повечето изследователи името на града идва от коприва (или копривище), като Владимир Георгиев го смята за превод на по-ранно тракиийско наименование (*Усдик(е), буквално „коприва“. Друга хипотеза, предлагана от Васил Миков, свързва остарялата форма на името „Копришица“ с гръцкото κοπριά („обор“, „торище“). Ст. Васев предлага етимология от „куп речици“, която е отхвърляна от по-късните автори.[2]
