Широка лъка (Shiroka Laka)

So far, Широка лъка (Shiroka Laka) has been able to do what few tourist spots can do – open itself up to tourism without losing the authenticity and genuineness that made it appealing to tourists in the first place. It is what Kovachevitsa aspires to become: a tourist town that doesn’t seem overly touristy. Shiroka Laka is cobblestone streets, old bridges, Rhodopean architecture, and relatively unaffected locals, all in a picturesque hillside/riverside setting. It’s a place that’s difficult not to like.
