Ihtiman

Ihtiman is best known in western Bulgaria for its position in the Ihtiman Basin, an upland corridor between Sofia and Plovdiv. The town lies below the Ihtimanska Sredna Gora range, and major road and rail routes across the basin have long made it a practical stop in Bulgaria’s interior. Nearby Trajan’s Gate recalls the battle of 986, when the forces of Tsar Samuel defeated the Byzantine army of Basil II. Ihtiman introduces travellers to a meeting point of mountain foothills, open basin country and the country’s main east–west transport route.
