One of the best places to visit in Bulgaria is the open air ethnographic museum, Etar (or Etara) near Gabrovo Bulgaria! We stopped in along our Bulgarian road trip to see some local ethnography. Near the center of Bulgaria, Etara displays traditional crafts of the Bulgarian people in action amid very beautiful nature! We also touch on where to stay in Gabrovo and show one of the yummiest breads in the world, another taste of Bulgaria, as we continue to travel in Bulgaria! And, as we always do in each country we are visiting, we answer to the question, is Bulgaria cheap?

Great video, this was one of my favorite places to visit when I was little. It's a lot livelier when its warm, but still feels authentic. For anyone wondering the song in the video is indeed Bulgarian and it is about a rebel fighting for Bulgaria's independence, and the singer is asking him to leave the rebellion because his mother is sick and tired of all of it. Anyway, thank you for your videos, I really like your style. They're informative and I like that you seem genuinely interested in the places you visit. I wish you well and hope you can get to travel again soon!
Thank you so much for watching our videos and for your comment! We value your support. 😇 Nice to hear the insight about this song--it is very moving, that is why we chose it. We were so pleasantly surprised by our wonderful time in Bulgaria; we look forward to visiting during a different season in the future! Thanks; we are missing our travels so much right now. We hope you are well wherever in the world you are right now 😊
Hi, a great video. We are originally from the UK and after 10 years in India we moved here 5 years ago. We have a guest house just outside Veliko Tarnovo in beautiful countryside and we often come here with our guests. It is especially great in the summer to have a picnic beside the little stream.
Sounds really great! Thank you so much for watching & commenting...we value your support. 🙏 We hope to visit BG again someday in the spring or summer
The village has a very traditional look. Loved it.
It does! Thanks for watching
Love the traditional stuff you had showed in their place, I also love the ambience of the place, its looks like in the movie during ancient times, and the background music also fits the your footages.
Thank you for watching our video all the way through! 😇
Koliovata Kushta = Nick's place!!! Looks like you got some nice Pitka for breakfast!! We totally dig the lamb's milk yogurt and Makitzi (fried doughnuts with powder sugar) that breakfast is the bomb!!!
You know Nick's place?? That is so cool! I do not think we ever tried the Makitzi while in Bulgaria, but it definitely sounds like April's kind of thing 😋
This looked far more banitza to me than mekitsa. I just couldn't see the cheese.
I was trying to work out if you were driving or not for the intro as I so would have crashed if I was doing that hahaha 😂 I need to 100% concentrate on something as I cannot multi-task. Is that a Bulgarian song in the background? The museum is very interactive which is cool. I think I'd find that more interesting to see people creating the crafts than just reading about it and seeing some examples. Entrance price was reasonable! April is so full of information. Impressive! Like a personal tour guide, hehe :) Your guesthouse owners seem nice and it's great they made a homemade breakfast for you.
LOL, we have trouble mult-tasking with some things. Yes, a cool Bulgarian song Wayne found. I am happy to be your personal tour guide, hahaha! 😄
🚨 PLEASE READ!
This video was filmed several months ago, before the current global situation. We are now back in the USA, following the official advice. Our hearts go out to all of the businesses that are suffering due to lack of tourism. We hope that everything gets better sooner rather than later and we can start exploring new places again. We will be releasing new videos every Thursday, per usual.
Please comment and share your thoughts! 👍 We love hearing from you!
And we hope you will consider subscribing & hitting the notification bell so you can join us for, and be aware of, our future episodes! 😊 Thank you for your continuing support; it means so much to us!
😇 --Wayne and April
My father's family is from Gabrovo-Tarnovo region. Next time you go there ask if you can see in an ethnographic museum the female traditional clothing from this particular region. You'll feel like a Medieval princess. It's amazing to see and feel. The story goes, and nobody knows how true it is, given the lost history after the Ottoman invasion, but it's said that when the Second Bulgarian empire fell, the boyars and rich people who were not killed or didn't convert ran in the towns and villages around this region and the women kept the tradition of the old clothing, to remind them who they are. It's a nice story 😁 but the clothes are amazing indeed.
Very interesting! Thank you so much for watching and sharing that tidbit with us! We hope to go back when it is more lively at Etara... 🙂 Take care!
What a cool way to see those old school ways of making things. Much better than a traditional museum. Your room looks cozy, and that breakfast looks delicious. Definitely good value for the money!
Yes, it's too bad we were not able to see more craftsmen/women at work. Indeed, thank you for watching!
One of our favorite places ... Thank you for that video
Our pleasure! So glad you enjoyed it. We only wish we could have experienced more activity while there, but as you know we were there in winter and arrived late in the day... When is the last time you visited? What is a craft you enjoy being displayed?
The music you used in this video was pretty epic! The village looks really cool and chill.. It didn't look like they were trying to do the hard sell on the crafts like other tourist "villages" that we have been too.. Do people live there as well? $34 with breakfast for 2 sounds like an awesome deal! That bread looked so good! Was it a sweet bread?
Here's the song if you're interested th-cam.com/video/eYft44ZQmGs/w-d-xo.html
We were there when it was quiet, so we are not sure if they try to give a harder sell in the busier times. I do not think so; they are mostly showing off their craft-work. I do not believe people live onsite here, but live nearby in the mountains. It was not super sweet, it actually had cheese in it, but it was not savory either...Wayne is drooling for more of it now, hahaha!
Interesting music in the background, is this Bulgarian???
Sure is!
It's song about one of our national heroes, fighter for our liberation and protector of the oppressed.
Petko, you, captain
Petko1 , you, captain
Petko, you, commander,
Come home, Petko, quit!
Of this damn rebellion2
Your mother has enough.
Your mother has enough.
Petko, you, captain
Petko, you, commander,
Come home, Petko, quit!
Of this damn rebellion
Your mother has enough.
Your mother has enough.
In a daytime bringing of water;
In the nights washing blood-stained shirts;
Hiding hero's heads3
Mother, you, my old mother,
I have sent a traveler's bag
To Stambula4, the big city.
And when the traveler's bag come back
And depending what news it will bring,
Then I'll quit
This damn rebellion!
1.The song is dedicated to a Bulgarian national hero Captain Petko, the voevod: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petko_Voyvoda. He took part in Garibaldi's commands as well
2.The national liberation activity in Bulgaria against the Turk slavery is known as Хайдутско движение (Hajduk rebellion). Petko was known as one of the most famous leaders of a hajduk squad (something as guerilla fighters) and maybe the only one who has survived to see the Liberation of Bulgaria.
3.This could be a double meaning. On one hand it could be literally hiding severed heads of caught hajduks, placed on the village square as an example for the people to not take this rebellion path. Doing so, one day these heads could be buried and the graves would be known for the next generations. On the other hand could be hiding hajduks from Turks posses, sent to catch them.

Thank you for this information
Wow, we did not know this... Thank you for sharing; it is very interesting!
Such a cute and interesting place! We loved the architecture, and the blue colour of the houses. The horse carriage at 2:05 was beautiful, and as we loved rainbows we fell in love with rainbow eye in the beginning. The breakfast bread looked delicious! We liked the little waterfall as well. Great choice of music, really atmospheric!
Thank you so much! They actually had art on display throughout the grounds...it was cool to see the more modern interspersed with this cultural village! Man, I wish I could have some of that bread right now as a mid-morning snack, lol 😋
In fact, this is not a waterfall ..! This is an ancient version of a washing machine ..! No detergents are used, only the power of the water cleans and washes ..! It's called "tepavica".
Very interesting! Thank you
Great videos guys! But I guess it would be much better if you would visit again to be during the summer. You'll be able to see much more and walk around a lot more. Also the real beauty of the country can be seen when it is warm.
Thank you for watching & commenting! Yes, we hope to visit Bulgaria again during another season. We still felt like we got a pretty good taste of its beauty, but can agree that experiencing it in the spring or summer would be incredible! Do you live there?
@@GoTravelOnTheCheap Yes, I'm Bulgarian and I live in Sofia.
Nice! What is your favorite thing about living in Sofia?
@@GoTravelOnTheCheap Well one of my favorite things is the establishments (cafes, restaurants, pubs, etc.). They are everywhere in the city and are pretty good though. Apart from that Sofia is the main country's business center and logically the countryside is much more visually appealing.
Very nice. Do you have a favorite spot or two in the countryside?
Wayne, make sure you focus your eyes on the road when you do the intro 😅 A rug made from goat hair ropes, pretty impressive piece of handcraft. I love these type of local towns. Nice guest house where you are staying.
Hahaha, good point. Wayne is a highly experienced driver, but that is still no excuse. 😬😎 We only wish more would have been open when we visited Etara!
Interesting video I watched untill end its good presentation and nice video editing love both of you from LD travels 😊
Thank you so much for watching our entire video and for commenting; we value the support! 😇
Isn't it wonderful being able to immerse one's self in other cultures? So much to learn and understand. I'm guessing after spending the past year or so in the USA traveling round, you'll be keen to do some more overseas traveling? 🙏 👍 🙋♀️
Absolutely! We are kind of going crazy not being able to travel internationally... 🙃🙂 We actually had a couple of international trips already fall apart for us this year, which makes it even more difficult... Here's hoping our international trip in September still happens!
Nice job on the camera work.
Thank you for watching & commenting! Appreciate the support 😊
This was the only winter with no snow on the Christmas days in Gabrovo region. 2019/20. Usually there are 2 snowy months per Winter, and also in Sofia.
Interesting. We did get enough snow where we live here in America for 2020/21. Did y'all get enough there in Bulgaria?
@@GoTravelOnTheCheap Yes there was more snow in 2020/21 in Bulgaria, than in 2019/20, but not so much as usual before. In Sofia there was 33 snowy days in this winter.
The winter was also long. On the Mountain near Sofia Vitosha im the End of April there was 275 cm snow cover. But since 1 may is the hot weather here +30.
Yeah we have seen a decline over the past 5-10 years in snowfall here
It snows in Gabrovo from November to mid March. Gabrovo is very cold in winter ,especially nights.
I love Etera! Did you visit the sweet shop when you were there?
No, it was one of the few places still open by the time we arrived in the late afternoon a couple days after Christmas, but we were both pretty sick still... 😣 What did you try when there?
this song in the background is from the Rhodope mountains south/southwest from Gabrovo, here is an authentic folklore song from the central Balkan region: th-cam.com/video/XBkRTyu8uYU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for sharing! 😊
The first photo in national costumes you showed was from Serbia, not from Bulgaria
Aha, my bad. I did my best in my search on the internet to find a photo I could use 😇
@@GoTravelOnTheCheap I don't think so, you just relied on the fact that in the Balkans the folk costumes are similar in composition ...! In fact, in Bulgaria alone there are hundreds of local, regional traditional clothes ...!
@@GoTravelOnTheCheap Next time you look for Bulgarian national costumes, just write: Asen Velikov photography..! You will be left with a gaping mouth ..! I promise you!
Okay, thank you for your help!
