The old capital Veliko Tarnovo – Bulgaria

by on with No Comments

Tarnovo

Veliko Tarnovo was the medieval capital of the 2nd Bulgarian empire. Traces where found of a settlement from 3000 BC. First part of the Byzantine empire, but later independent. Razed to the ground by the Ottoman empire in 1393. In 1877 it was liberated by Russia. It’s a lovely place to be. We went there with some friends in 2012.

Check out our album about castle Ehrenburg

Most likely the church of Trier built Burg Ehrenburg. In 1688 the French took the castle and a year later they partly blew it up. Today you can visit it.

We also have a blog. The story about A kids Hike

 

Near Rheden is a visitors center of Natuurmonumenten, a great start for a hike in the Veluwezoom. The sheep pen and climbing trail are great for kids.
