Shipka Monument

From the slopes of Stara planina northward, where Orpheus was residing and where the house of the Roses has been for centures, our unique location will offer your a sweet escape in the Balkan, where you might still hear the haidouk song of the Bulgarian revolutionaries. A few steps from us was built a monument of the fallen for the freedom of Bulgaria - Hadzhi Dimitar, Stefan Karadzha and their troops. The memory about the battles at Shipka, Sheynovo, Stara Zagora and the Liberation are immortalized in the Monument of Freedom on Shipka peak - 6 km from here in a direct way. Bones of the people who shed their blood for Bulgaria are kept in the gold-domed Memorial Temple „The Nativity of Christ“ in the town of Shipka, where you can light a candle in the Orthodox church and humble your mind after a walk through the Valley of the Spirit. And if your feet or the will of the ancient spirits lead you to the main square of Kazanlak, watch out! If you drink water from the Lion fountain, according to the legend - your heart and soul will remain here forever!
