Tryavna

Few towns in the Gabrovo region have a history as closely tied to Bulgaria’s National Revival as Tryavna. Set in the central Stara Planina, the town developed as a centre of woodcarving, icon painting and traditional building during the 18th and 19th centuries. Its old quarter preserves stone bridges, timber-fronted houses and the 1814 Clock Tower, one of Tryavna’s enduring symbols. The Daskalov House is noted for its carved wooden ceilings, reflecting the precision for which local craftsmen became known. Forested Balkan slopes surround the compact town and reinforce its mountain character. See how Tryavna fits into the central Stara Planina area by browsing webcams nearby.
