Karlovo is a historically important town in central Bulgaria located in a fertile valley along the river Stryama at the southern foot of the Balkan Mountains. It is famous for the worldwide-known rose oil, which is grown there and used in producing perfume. In addition to this, Karlovo is the birthplace of Vasil Levski, revolutionary and national hero of Bulgaria. There is a museum and large monument dedicated to him. Karlovo is also a popular location for tourism in the region.
Kalofer is a town in central Bulgaria, located on the banks of the Tundzha river between the Balkan Mountains to the north and Sredna Gora mountain to the south.
The modern settlement of Kalofer emerged in the 16th century, managing to preserve its Bulgarian character in the Ottoman Empire and to develop as a centre of craftsmanship, primarily cord production. The Kalofer monastery has been in operation since 1640 and the convent since 1700. During the Bulgarian National Revival the town became a centre of revolutionary activity, being the birthplace of figures such as Hristo Botev, Exarch Joseph, Dimitar Panichkov, Nikola Ivanov.
The city is well known for the traditional all-male Bulgarian dance in the ice cold river on Epiphany.
