Regional ethnographic open-air museum Etar keeps the sacred spirit of our beautiful & ancient Bulgaria!
In this unique place the Bulgarian traditions have been gathered, preserved and showed to be shared with generations and experienced by the visitors.

Here the water drives the wheel of a centuries-old water-mill and the cobbles under your feet remind you that unique beauty in life conceals in experiencing the feeling of getting in touch with the workmanship of our forefathers.
It contains ten exhibits and is one of the richest and most well-organized technical collections among European open-air museums.

This is the reason why the water-wheel has become an emblem of Etar.
The most important feature of the collection is that all sites are in operation, as in the past.
Crafts Bazaar presents 16 examples of Balkan architecture, revealing the original talent of the Revival Era craftmens.
I wish you an exceptional and impressive walk!
