Chepelare
Published on: 20/06/2007 The town of Chepelare is situated on the two banks of Chepelaska River,at the southeast foot of Chernatitsa area in the Rhodope Mountain. It
stands 1120 m above sea level, with population of about 6000. It’s
located 220km of Sofia, 74km of Plovdiv and 10km of the Pamporovo
resort.
In the beginning of 18th century, Bulgarians from the neighboring villages settled in that area and founded the village.
The town lies in a very beautiful area, with pure nature and
mountain relief. The "Mechi chal" ski track is located at the end of
the resort. It is 6 km long, and a comfortable double- chair lift can
take 600 skiers per hour to the top of the mountain.
The beginners can use mini ski- tows on the plateau to the peak of
Mechi chal. In the surroudings of the town there is a biathlon and
sprint piste. In Chepelare is located the only factory for ski
equipment in the whole Balkan Peninsula.
In summer Chapelare is also attractive. It is a point of
departure for many tourist routes to the West Rhodope Mountains: to
Krastova gora (The Forest of the Cross), Pamporovo, Chudnite mostove
(Wonderful Bridges), to Haidushki poliani (Haidouks’ glades), Shiroka
laka, etc.
In Chepelare there are many two- and three- star family hotels,
and numerous restaurants and taverns offer the typical cuisine for the
Rhodopes.
The only cave - museum in Bulgaria with its collection of maps
and pictures of rock formations from the Rhodopes is located in
Chepelare.
The observatory of Rojen is situated 15km southeast of Chepelare.
