Yavrovo: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Yavrovo’s “Вдигане на куните”, also known as “Черковане”, attracts hundreds of people every year. During the ritual, icons are carried in a procession from the local church to the “Св. Никола” chapel.

Culture

The “Probuda–1923” chitalishte was built in 1923; it organizes creative gatherings, concerts, and celebrations that attract residents and visitors. Yavrovo preserves houses from the 19th century. Tsiporkova House is mentioned among Yavrovo’s houses designated as cultural monuments. Yavrovo is also described as the home village of Nikolay Haytov.
