Chiprovtsi is a small town with unique nature and old history, settled at the foot of the Western Stara planina mountain, at some 30 km from the town of Montana. Through the town flows the Ogosta river, coming from the high parts of the mountain.
The town is famous as the biggest goldsmith center on the Balkan Peninsula in 16th and 17th centuries and the carpet industry which developed in 19th century.
The unique Chiprovtsi carpets are made on hand from pure wool and are still very popular with markets all over the world.
Very interesting to the tourists will be the small but picturesque Chiprovtsi waterfall. Nearby are also the "St. Ioan Rilski" monastery and
Lopushanski monastery “St. Ioan Predtecha”.
The long walks in the mountain, the fresh air, the possibility for picnics and hunting, the ecological products, the preserved customs and traditions are premises for a wonderful rural holiday.
