Bozhentsi

Bozhentsi - an idyllic village nestling in the folds of the Balkan Range, 16 km from the town of Gabrovo, which time seems to have lulled to sleep centuries ago. The shutters of the workshops have been closed, the blacksmiths have stopped hammering, the hearths have gone out. The well in the square, the wax workshop and the St. Elija Church are almost 200 years old. Until the end of the 19-th century Bozhentsi has been an economic, administrative, educational and spiritual center for the surrounding villages. Today, there are 100 houses left, built 100 – 250 years ago.
