Kalofer: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
Kalofer combines access to the landscapes of Central Balkan National Park with a rich cultural heritage. The Byala Reka Eco-trail, routes to Botev Peak, and the Hristo Botev National Museum stand alongside a distinctive lace-making tradition and historic educational institutions.
Nature
The Byala Reka Eco-trail is located within Central Balkan National Park, northwest of Kalofer. The longer route takes about an hour and crosses the river via several wooden bridges. Information boards provide details about the plants and animals found in Dzhendema.
Hiking
Raisko Praskalo is a 124-metre-high waterfall described as the highest waterfall on the Balkan Peninsula. Kalofer is a starting point for the ascent to Botev Peak, the highest summit in the Balkan Mountains. The panoramic Tarzan Trail leads from Rai Hut to Botev Peak in about three hours. The route from Panitsite to Rai Hut runs entirely within Central Balkan National Park and takes about four hours.
On the Byala Reka River, the Byala Reka campsite offers camping facilities as well as tables, benches, fire pits, and toilets.
Culture
The Hristo Botev National Museum was built on the site of the Botev family's last home. The complex is located in Boteva Garden and includes a memorial house museum and an exhibition hall. The ensemble is designated as a group cultural monument of national importance.
The Daskal Botev School houses a permanent exhibition on education in Kalofer during the Bulgarian National Revival and displays reconstructed classrooms. It was founded on the initiative of Botyo Petkov with donations and voluntary assistance from the residents of Kalofer.
Tradition
Kalofer lace developed from Brussels lace and uses motifs such as roses, edelweiss, leaves, tulips, and sunflowers. The Kalofer Lace Festival has been held annually on 15 August since 1999.
