A map showing various strawbale houses around the world, as made by those clever
people at Natural Homes. If you 'travel' east across Europe until you reach Bulgaria, you
should be able to find us north west of Veliko Tarnovo, as indicated by the piece of straw
apparently in the middle of nowhere:
Hotnitsa is 15 kms north west of Veliko Tarnovo. Bulgaria is in Eastern Europe, south of
Romania and just north of Greece and Turkey. It has a temperate climate, with cold
winters and hot dry summers. Around Hotnitsa, there are lots of opportunities for hiking,
cycling, climbing and many other forms of eco-tourism. To find Hotnitsa on a more
conventional map, click here.
Veliko Tarnovo (VT) was the first capital of Bulgaria and lies towards the centre of the
country, slightly to the north of the Stara Planina Mountains. The Yantra River meanders
through a gorge in the city centre and picturesque houses cling to the cliffs. VT is a lively,
university town with lots of very good cafes and restaurants. The Tsaravets Citadel,
almost encircled by the river, is a popular attraction for tourists, with regular sound and
light shows in the summer months.
VT is equidistant from the capital Sofia and the Black Sea resort of Varna. Daily flights leave
Gatwick and Heathrow for Sofia and a bus will take you from Sofia to VT in 3 hours.
Hotnitsa is only 15 minutes away from VT. It is also possible to fly to Varna or Bourgas, on
charter flights from various regional airports throughout the summer months. Buses run
many times daily from Varna to VT.
