A morning light slices through beech and oak as you step off the lane into Koprivshtitsa — a 19th‑century Bulgarian Revival town where painted wooden houses stand like characters in a living history book. Streets are cobbled and narrow; every verandah and carved lintel has a story. The guide you load on your device points you to mansions with their original frescoes, small artisan workshops, and quiet memorials to the 1876 April Uprising.
