The Town
The town of Tryavna is situated in a small valley expansion of the Tryavna Balkan Mountain (Central Stara Planina), along the two banks of the Dryanovska River.
The History
The town of Tryavna first became a regional centre as early as XVIII century although earlier records, which indicate human settlement in Tryavna can be traced back to Thracian times. By the end of the 19th century, Tryavna had become the region’s main cultural and industrial centre and was heavily involved in the development of crafts during the Bulgarian Renaissance period. This resulted not only to economic prosperity, but also to the creation of theTryavna School - one Bulgaria’s oldest institutions of Art Tradition. Since that time, the work of Tryavna artists has become popular throughout the Ottoman Empire, Romania, Serbia and Russia.
Following Bulgaria’s independence in 1878, the Municipality started woolen textile manufacture and the first factory was opened in 1883. During the first half of the 20th C. a number of other types of industry were created, including the production of furniture, woodworking and textiles.
The Present
Municipality of Tryavna has been changing its outlook for the last years trying to turn into a tourist town. The town administration was successful in its efforts to make improvements in several different directions. Firstly, it has improved and developed the infrastructure. The same is true for the town connection with the Pass of the Republic. The road to the village of Skorcite has been renovated thus making it possible for the tourists to visit an authentic Balkan settlement with a unique architecture and magnificent nature.
Several new hotels have been opened. They offer between 20 and 120 beds. Several Public buildings and museum - houses have been renovated due to The Beautiful Bulgaria Project. The Old Square in Tryavna has been reconstructed as a result of the project. Green areas and parks have been created. The facade of the church in the village of Enchovci has been totally renovated. The church is a monument of culture with a national importance.
The unique Museum of Asian and African Art is housed in the old public bath, on the riverside. Tryavna is proud with its great samples of the wood- carving, icon- painting and original architecture. Today the town is a preferable tourist spot, featuring modern hotels, private lodgings and villas, restaurants and taverns. There is also an Art school where successors of the old icon - painters and wood- carvers master these crafts.
The municipality applied and has been selected for several ecological projects. It has also initiated the creation of the BULGARKA National Park. It will be ratified in the near future.
A new Bulgarian-Dutch project has been developed in terms of the tourist orientation of the area. The project is called Tryavna in yellow, red and blue. The project will search for funding through the structures of the European Union.
20 km of Tryavna is located the Voneshta voda village resort, famous with its healing mineral springs.
