A little to the south is the largest national park in Bulgaria, Pirin National Park, whose area is more than 26 thousand hectares. More than 60% of the park’s territory is forest, and the oldest tree in Bulgaria is also located here - Baikusheva Mura, which is more than 1300 years old. In 1983, Pirin National Park was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The park is home to more than 160 bird species, more than 40 mammal species, and approximately 2,000 plant species.
The history of the city of Bansko goes back to antiquity. As a result of archaeological excavations, Thracian graves were found here, as well as many finds indicating that settlements existed in this territory back in the ancient period. Until 1912, Bansko was under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, but after the First Balkan War the city became part of independent Bulgaria.
The Church of the Holy Trinity, located in the very center of Bansko, is one of the most important attractions of the city. The church was built in 1835. Since, by order of the Ottomans, no building in the city was to be taller than the city mosque, the church from the outside appears rather small. In 1850, a 30-meter-high bell tower was added to the church, thanks to which it is visible from any part of the city. The inside of the church is decorated with wonderful paintings and carvings, in addition there are numerous icons.
Not far from Bansko there is the famous Dancing Bears Park, created in 2000. This park was created for the release and rehabilitation of bears living in captivity among gypsies and trained using cruel methods. In total, the park is home to more than 25 rescued bears; all living conditions as close to natural as possible have been created for them. Entry to the pack is free and available to everyone.
These are not all the famous attractions of the resort, which is worth a visit for ski lovers, as well as for those who want to get to know the history of Bulgaria better.
