You will go to a place that seems to have come out of the fairy tales. Lively lawn, old oaks, Bulgarian yurts, bungalow-barrel, gazebo-barrel, local-style tavern with self-cooked options, open-air barbecue places, and improvised zoo are just some of the surprises that await you. The eco village is a result of the long-term pursuit of its owners to create an oasis where people take a step back to the old Bulgarian way of life and traditions, striving to fill the long gap between the urban man and nature. Here you will spend one night in a unique construction - a huge wooden barrel or in the Khan's Yurt with the canopy bed, and in the morning we will surprise you with an authentic, homemade breakfast. Then you will be able to master the ancient art of archery and finally to raise the adrenaline and excite the senses with a trip around the area with a buggy! Come and try - the reality is even more colorful!
