At the foothills of the Rhodope Mountains, with a view of Pirin there nestles a unique stone village, Kovachevitsa, located 23 kilometres away from the town of Gotse Delchev.
The houses here have been built in such a way along the steep slope that one can walk around the village stepping on the roofs covered with stone slabs. All streets are made of stone or have been hewn out of the mountain rock. Many children going to the local school have walked these streets. The school was opened back in 1854. The people of Kovachevitsa are talented and industrious. The village is a valuable treasure because of the unique vernacular architecture and clean nature. Today many people come here to acquaint themselves with Bulgarian history, culture and traditions.
