A walk in the Dryanovo villages

in Worldmappin3 years ago

Hello, today I want to show you what the Bulgarian villages and neighborhoods looked like in the past. The place of our tour is the road between the town of Dryanovo and the town of Tryavna.

Of course we will not be able to see all the villages in Rashon and therefore we will divide our tour into two parts. In this part we will visit the villages on the south side of the Dryanovo-Veliko Tarnovo road.

We start the walk from the village of Shushnya. Our first impression is how ruined everything is. Most of the houses are almost completely ruined and there are many that cannot be reached due to the thick bushes.

On the lower side of the road, however, I saw this well-restored house, the view of which made me happy.**

At the end of the village we noticed more remains of houses.

This was from the village of Shushnya. According to the legends, the village bears the name of its founder, grandfather Shushnyo, who spoke shushnel (whispered).

Upon entering the village of Kuklya we came across this beautiful and well-preserved house. The house is quite large and has a spacious yard. It turned out that it is even inhabited.

275496462_10224051597392038_8592258711982090880_n.jpg


Old stone walls and huge trees surrounded the road. Although the village once had more than a hundred inhabitants, it is now completely deserted.

275489383_10224051591751897_9002726967632393085_n.jpg


Everywhere around us there is a trace of the former life boiling here.

275485354_10224051588831824_488797411248221293_n.jpg


I can only guess how much work it took to make such a bike.

275288572_10224051596832024_3576605393748715798_n.jpg


I managed to enter is one of the houses that was relatively well preserved. The stairs were made of massive stone blocks and the walls plastered with mud. However, the roof had fallen and everything inside was wet. In my opinion, there is not much life left on the house.

275520713_10224051584951727_4685805822058158161_n.jpg


Our next stop is the village of Parsha. There is not much left of the former municipal center. Many of the properties in the village are maintained, although currently there are no permanent residents.

275487065_10224051596152007_5360697343877596395_n.jpg

The place was originally inhabited by people fleeing an epidemic of plague in Dryanovo.

275602735_10224051588191808_5670395882523167106_n.jpg


Continuing forward, a narrow winding road takes us to the village of Garnya.

275502724_10224051605552242_310493117081564968_n.jpg


The appearance of the village is typically mountainous.

275551605_10224051608232309_6570163557893268205_n.jpg


And this extremely old house managed to grab our attention.

275558382_10224051606592268_4928229510651116186_n.jpg

275486823_10224051594791973_2927011714660337458_n.jpg


From here we head to the village of Mutsa.

275485334_10224051609512341_3677157826079434384_n.jpg

275534587_10224051609472340_3227228769946984049_n.jpg


The village is extremely small and cozy. The narrow cobbled streets convey a unique atmosphere.

275563983_10224051582111656_2623966347039465335_n.jpg


Walking down in front of us, houses alternate in different states. We decide to enter one of them.

275571982_10224051582991678_3714740297404181956_n.jpg


The next village on our route is the village of Zaya. Here at its entrance we are greeted by a beautiful fountain.

275521516_10224051610992378_4188407519805484834_n.jpg


The village is scattered on several hills and it is evident from the houses that wealthy people lived here. Built mainly in the early twentieth century, most of the houses were in good condition.

275612056_10224051611432389_2625979613642213149_n.jpg


Currently, several foreigners live in the village. They also manage the local shop.

The village of Zaya is beautiful and a large village has preserved the spirit of the times.

275543184_10224051586071755_3968917427253906823_n.jpg


Our next stop is the village of Docha. The village also has its rich history and heritage, although currently only two inhabitants live there.

These are the baha villages that we managed to visit on this sometimes quite gloomy day. It was a great pleasure and honor for me to show them to you. I hope that you will find something interesting. Until next time.

Nice
I stay tuned for the next village

Thanks, I hope to be able to continue walking in this area soon.

Greetings @xarabista is the place you visited still lots of people living in that place?

In almost every village there is a resident left, but in general the villages are deserted.

I see, thank you for the response.

Носталгия към миналото 😊

Здравейте!Стана ми мъчно и тъжно от всички тези разрушени и изоставени села!При тази красива природа да няма хора-това е жалко и отчайващо, показва как ние, българите, се топим с бързи темпове... Благодаря, че ни показахте тези села, но гледките ме натъжиха.

И аз изпитвах смесени чувства обикаляйки тези пусти села в които някога е кипял живот.Много е жалко наистина.

От доста време съм си мислил да обиколя някои от селата в Габровския регион (по-точно Скорците), но не съм го правил, а сега се замислям и дали ще издържа след като видя тази гледка. Снимките за страхотни, но като цяли картината е трагична, толкова живот е кипял по тези места...

Yay! 🤗

Много хубави снимки.💫
Не знам английски, но знам как обичам и аз да снимам подобни места. Гледам красивите ни села и бащини къщи, обзети от трева и все повече тъгувам за хората... Светът се загубва... Вече духът е пуснат от бутилката....Егоизма и материализма са превзели съзнанието на мнозинството...
Дано, малкото хора, които милеят за родина и дом, успеят да запазят духът на българското село и семейство.
БЛАГОДАРЯ! 💕
Този край на България е оазис. 💕💕💕
