Gabrovo

Gabrovo occupies a mountain valley in central Bulgaria, on the Yantra River at the northern foot of the Balkan Mountains. Long associated with crafts, trade and industry, the town became an important centre during the Bulgarian National Revival. Its cultural identity is especially visible at the House of Humour and Satire, devoted to comic art, and at the nearby Etar open-air ethnographic museum, where traditional workshops and Revival-era buildings are preserved. Forested slopes rise close to the urban streets, while mountain roads lead towards Shipka Pass, a place central to Bulgaria’s 1877–78 liberation struggle.
