Samokov, located at the foot of Rila Mountain, derived its name after the specific water-driven forge and its heavy hummer - Samokov. We will reach it by car from Sofia. During the first centuries of Ottoman rule, Samokov quickly gained economic prominence for its export of blacksmith produce, varied artisan shops, and a mixture of ethnic groups. On our way, we will pass near-by the picturesque Panchareevo lake and Iskar water reservoir. In Samokov we shall be walking and visit the town's museum, Sarafskata kashta (Jewish money-changer house) of Arie family, the Ottoman Bayrakli mosque, and the Orthodox metropolitan bishop church named after the Dormition of Blessed Virgin Mary. We will have a traditional lunch at the Old House which shall be followed in the afternoon with a visit to the Orthodox metropolitan bishop's church dedicated to the Dormition of Blessed Virgin Mary. Finally, we will visit the Royal hut in Borovets (c. 10 km from Samokov).
