Momchilovtsi
In the heart of the Rhodope Mountains lies the picturesque
village of Momchilovtsi, a popular ethnographic centre that has
preserved its original folklore, traditions and crafts. The Centre
for Traditional Bulgarian Arts and Crafts provides a unique
opportunity for visitors to attend courses to learn about and
participate in traditional crafts like folk dancing, weaving,
woodcarving, cooking, music and various artistic handicrafts. In
winter it is a popular base from which to visit the famous ski
resort of Pamporovo, which is only four miles (7km) away and the
surrounding mountains and rivers offer superb hiking, caving, trout
fishing and hunting.
