THE ROSE FESTIVAL IN KAZANLAK

Each year in the beginning of June, in the famous Rose valley near Kazanlak is held a rose festival – the queen of the flowers and one of the symbols of Bulgaria. The Celebration starts with rose harvest, accompanied by songs and dances. According an old Bulgarian custom, the hosts welcome and  treat the guests with gyulovitsa – elixir of grape and roses. The lovers of sweet and aromatic drinks can try liquer from roses. Here you can drink a cup of rose tea and taste the famous rose jam. Traditional for the celebration is the beauty contest for Rose Queen, in which participate only graduates from Kazanlak. One of the things you should not miss is the unique for Bulgaria Rose museum, where in photos you can track the 330-year history rose production in Bulgaria. It shows original vessels for the production of rose oil, cauldrons for storage and export – concums (traditional rose oil vessels), which even after 60 years smell wonderful.
