Apriltsi is a small town, settled at the foot of the Middle Stara planina mountain. It is located at the distance of 205 km to the south of Sofia, at the distance of 57 km to the west of Gabrovo and at the distance of about 25 km to the south east of Troyan. The town is young at age, small at inhabitants, but with rich history and incredible with its nature and with its landmarks. The most charming thing in Apriltsi is its nature. The combination of the hospitality of the local people and of the beauty of the mountain nature leave incredible memories to the town’s guests. Here is the kingdom of the rocks. Inaccessible and steep rocks rise from all sides of the mountain.
Apriltsi offers something for every visitor. To keen mountaineers – the challenges of the peaks Botev, Maragidik, Triglav; to risk-lovers – the Northern Djendem and the Vidimsko praskalo waterfall, to anglers and mushroom-gatherers – a full basket near the Vidimska and Ostreshka rivers and in the damp mixed forests; to hunters - precious trophies, to contemplators – breathtaking and diverse mountain sights in all directions, plus the only bed of Alpine rose in Stara planina.
In 1976 in honor of the 100-annual jubilee from the April Uprising the four villages – Novo selo, Vidima, Zla reka and Ostrec merged in and the today’s town of Apriltsi was established.
