Tryavna
is an emblematic name for every Bulgarian tempted by our history and fate.
The town is located in the centre of Bulgaria’s territory which corresponds
completely to its significance for the national spirit during the past four
or five centuries.
This is what the Municipality of Tryavna looks like in the language of
numbers: territory –
270 sq km; population centres
– two towns (Tryavna –
11,000
people and Plachkovtsi – 2,200
people)
and
104 villages in many of which
life has already
died down; topography –
semi-mountainous and mountainous; altitude – from
380
to 1,490
m above the sea level;
climate – temperate and mild, very
good for prevention and treatment of lung diseases; waters – a small
mountain river
whose source is in the Balkan and
which flows into the river Yantra before the city of Veliko Turnovo.
In
the language of visitors’ impressions, Tryavna and the nearby places are an
oasis of natural and human grandeur.
