Unfortunately it was a rainy day when we visited the cave, but definitely worth to stop here for 30 minutes. the cave is a little bit off the main road, the parking is free. the entry fee was 3 leva/person, and there is also little souvenir stand. we was lucky to see also some bats.

Following on from a visit to Devetashka cave we drove about 20mins to get to the parking lot for visiting the Kurushuna Falls. After paying a small entrance fee and receiving a map, we walked to the start of the two trail heads. In this area there is a small restaurant that sells pizza, and there are some public conveniences. The first trail takes you past the main falls and a rather beautiful blue pool where we stopped for a picnic. The trail loops back to the trail head, where the second trail can be embarked upon. The second trail is a bit harder work than the first, but my six year old managed just fine. The trail goes past some caves under the overhang of a cliff, then onto a "hidden" fall.
There is a play area near the parking lot, and a swimming pool, although it was not in operation while we were there (April).
The falls and the cave made for a rather nice day out.
3. The Covered Bridge

This 320-foot long covered bridge spans the Osam river and connects old and new Lovech. Wood or stone-based Bridges had existed at this site for a long time, but were frequently destroyed by floods. In 1874, a new, covered bridge was built, and included several dozen stored, cafes and shops on both sides. Being a wooden bridge, it burnt down in 1925, and was replaced by a much less attractive metal bridge. To recover the aesthetic aspect of the bridge, Lovech leadership commissioned a return to the 1874 design, which was partially accomplished in 1982, although with far fewer shops on it. However, it still houses a pastry shop and a cafe. As you head from one side of town to the other, it is a great stop for a coffee and great for people watching too.

Absolutely incredible cave - definitely one of the most impressive I've seen and it was an absolute privilege to be the only tourists (due to serious snow) - I cannot recommend this place enough, but if you have mobility issues, please bear in mind there's lots of steps (some uneven) which can get slippery, and some uneven surfaces. The guide didn't speak English so you would need a translater, but he was really lovely and seemed to be honoured that we wanted a photo with him. Wonderful place!

The fortress is dating from the time of the Roman Empire, when a functioning road station called Presidium was designed. It`s one of the last seized from the Ottoman Empire.
Inside the fortress, you could enjoy the stunning view of the town or the mountain in the back. The beautiful river Osum and remains of a roman path could be seen also behind the fortress.

The museum shows 2 traditional houses from the old Lovech. Both are about 200 years old. One is decorated in 19th century style while the other is "newly" decorated, around 1950 - a local mathematician and musician lived in the house in mid-20th century.
If you are in the area, it is definitely worth spending 30 minutes. Especially for kids it is very interesting to see how people leaved in the past.
